註釋Whatever you think of Teddy Roosevelt, it cannot be argued that he was one of America's most dynamic presidents. In this series of conversations recorded by Jack Leary, you'll see a side of Roosevelt you may not have seen before.

Thoughtful, analytic, and outrageous, T.R. seldom fails to entertain and to hold his audience enthralled.

On the topic of women in high office, T.R. simply said, "Why not?"

John Joseph Leary, Jr. (1874 – 1944) was a 1920 Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who was fortunate to spend time with T.R. before his death.

Politics, family, and war are featured among the rich collection of conversations here. T.R. even discusses his own psychology:

“I suppose it is another manifestation of my general bloodthirsty, swashbuckling frame of mind, my fondness for the big stick and violence of all kinds. I want my country to be right; I hope she always will be right; but right or wrong, whatever she gets into I am going to be with her until she gets out. Then if there is any correcting to do, I’ll try and do my share. And I am not prepared to concede the possibility of error in that doctrine by agreeing to debate it with anybody."

This intimate view of President Roosevelt will keep you engaged from cover to cover. Buy it today.
