Revue de presse

"Compelling storytelling and magnificent research bring alive once more Roosevelt in all his overflowing and boisterous energy." -- The Boston Globe

"Incisive analysis of Roosevelt's emeritus decade. While Ms. O'Toole clearly appreciates Roosevelt's accomplishments, she also has a keen eye for the hubris and scheming that were so central to his nature." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times

"Splendid. . . . O'Toole brings eloquence and keen psychological insight to a familiar subject; the result is a lovely, unpretentiously learned tale of a great man who could never master his own ambition." -- Jon Meacham, Newsweek

Reads like an elegantly written novel. . . . Delectable stories and fine historical writing fill O'Toole's pages. . . . I see O'Toole's marvelous study as a must read for anyone who loves or hates TR. Her compelling storytelling and magnificent research bring alive once more Roosevelt in all his overflowing and boisterous energy." -- Kathleen Dalton, The Boston Globe

"O'Toole has written the definitive account of TR's postpresidential years." -- Library Journal

"A triumph of high achievement, one no history buff, nor anyone fascinated with character, should miss." -- Jay Strafford, Richmond Times Dispatch
