Reviews

“Cordery has supplied the best one-volume introduction to Roosevelt and his fascinating life for today’s undergraduates. It has balance, readability, and a sound sense of Roosevelt scholarship….Cordery is judicious and interesting throughout….”

Lewis L. Gould, The Modern American Presidency

“[Cordery] presents a well-realized portrait of Theodore Roosevelt and it builds a convincing case for the thesis that he was not only ’in the vanguard of the modern,’ but also a ’maker of the American mind.’”
