内容简介:
Thirty years ago, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt won both the
Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. A collector’s item in
its original edition, it has never been out of print as a
paperback. This classic book is now reissued in hardcover, along
with Theodore Rex, to coincide with the publication of Colonel
Roosevelt, the third and concluding volume of Edmund Morris’s
definitive trilogy on the life of the twenty-sixth President.
Although Theodore Rex fully recounts TR’s years in the White
House (1901–1909), The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt begins with a
brilliant Prologue describing the President at the apex of his
international prestige. That was on New Year’s Day, 1907, when TR,
who had just won the Nobel Peace Prize, threw open the doors of the
White House to the American people and shook 8,150 hands, more than
any man before him. Morris re-creates the reception with such
authentic detail that the reader gets almost as vivid an impression
of TR as those who attended. One visitor remarked afterward, “You
go to the White House, you shake hands with Roosevelt and hear him
talk—and then you go home to wring the personality out of your
clothes.”
The rest of this book tells the story of TR’s irresistible rise
to power. (He himself compared his trajectory to that of a rocket.)
It is, in effect, the biography of seven men—a naturalist, a
writer, a lover, a hunter, a ranchman, a soldier, and a
politician—who merged at age forty-two to become the youngest
President in our history. Rarely has any public figure exercised
such a charismatic hold on the popular imagination. Edith Wharton
likened TR’s vitality to radium. H. G. Wells said that he was
“a very symbol of the creative will in man.” Walter Lippmann
characterized him simply as our only “lovable” chief
executive.
During the years 1858–1901, Theodore Roosevelt, the son of a
wealthy Yankee father and a plantation-bred southern belle,
transformed himself from a frail, asthmatic boy into a full-blooded
man. Fresh out of Harvard, he simultaneously published a
distinguished work of naval history and became the fist-swinging
leader of a Republican insurgency in the New York State Assembly.
He had a youthful romance as lyrical—and tragic—as any in Victorian
fiction. He chased thieves across the Badlands of North Dakota with
a copy of Anna Karenina in one hand and a Winchester rifle in the
other. Married to his childhood sweetheart in 1886, he became the
country squire of Sagamore Hill on Long Island, a flamboyant civil
service reformer in Washington, D.C., and a night-stalking police
commissioner in New York City. As assistant secretary of the navy
under President McKinley, he almost single-handedly brought about
the Spanish-American War. After leading “Roosevelt’s Rough Riders”
in the famous charge up San Juan Hill, Cuba, he returned home a
military hero, and was rewarded with the governorship of New York.
In what he called his “spare hours” he fathered six children and
wrote fourteen books. By 1901, the man Senator Mark Hanna called
“that damned cowboy” was vice president of the United States. Seven
months later, an assassin’s bullet gave TR the national leadership
he had always craved.
His is a story so prodigal in its variety, so surprising in its
turns of fate, that previous biographers have treated it as a
series of haphazard episodes. This book, the only full study of
TR’s pre-presidential years, shows that he was an inevitable chief
executive, and recognized as such in his early teens. His
apparently random adventures were precipitated and linked by
various aspects of his character, not least an overwhelming will.
“It was as if he were subconsciously aware that he was a man of
many selves,” the author writes, “and set about developing each one
in turn, knowing that one day he would be President of all the
people.”

Thirty years ago, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt won both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. A collector’s item in its original edition, it has never been out of print as a paperback. This classic book is now reissued in hardcover, along with Theodore Rex , to coincide with the publication of Colonel Roosevelt , the third and concluding volume of Edmund Morris’s definitive trilogy on the life of the twenty-sixth President.
