Product Review

Another Pulitzer Prize for Morris?

by   jg3arrow ,   Apr 16, 2005

Pros:  Excellent quality of writing. A masterful job of research.

Cons:  The few illustrations were great, but would have liked more.

The Bottom Line:  Very enlightening look at the president who arguably had the greatest influence on shaping 20th century America, and much of the modern world.

Overall Rating: 5/5 stars
 

Author's Review

The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, Theodore Rex and a future volume on TR's later years will eventually comprise a trilogy written by Edmund Morris on the man. The first book won the Pulitzer Prize for Morris in 1980. This second version is certainly worthy of the same honor. And it makes anticipation of the third volume immense. Hope it doesn't take Morris another 20 years to conclude it.
Without unduly adding his own spin, Morris makes a case that TR's wide-ranging annual Messages addressed previously unaddressed needs for America and her future, and that his robust pursuit of translating them into law, shaped America for the 20th century. Morris could have driven home the point even more forcefully than he does, however, that Roosevelt's decision to avoid another term in 1908 probably robbed him of the opportunity to have had an even greater role in steering America's future course, to the point which he might have more closely rivaled Washington and Lincoln as America's most important presidents.
