A New York Times Bestselling Author
From the mid-nineteenth century to the early twentieth century, from the waning days of the rugged frontier of a young country to the emergence of a modern, industrial nation, Theodore Roosevelt embodied both the myth and reality of the country he loved. From his upbringing in New York to his time in the Dakotas, from his rise to Assistant Secretary of the Navy, from national hero as the leader of the Rough Riders in the Spanish- American War to the presidency itself, Roosevelt embodied the complex image of America. In gripping prose, Shaara tells the story of the man who defined and created the modern United States.
