Theodore Rex: Edmund Morris (Modern Library Classics) - Softcover

"In Edmund Morris, a great president has found a great biographer. . . . Every bit as much a masterpiece of biographical writing as The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, which won the Pulitzer Prize." --The Washington Post

"As a literary work on Theodore Roosevelt, it is unlikely ever to be surpassed. It is one of the great histories of the American presidency, worthy of being on a shelf alongside Henry Adams's volumes on Jefferson and Madison." --Times Literary Supplement

"Take a deep breath and dive into Theodore Rex, Edmund Morris's sequel to his 1979 masterpiece, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt. . . . He writes with a breezy verve that makes the pages fly." --The New York Times Book Review

"A shining portrait of a presciently modern political genius maneuvering in a gilded age of wealth, optimism, excess and American global ascension." --San Francisco Chronicle

"Roosevelt is a biographer's dream, an epic character not out of place in an adventure novel." --The Christian Science Monitor
