In this second volume of his biography of Theodore Roosevelt, Edmund Morris covers the period of Roosevelt's life between 1901 and 1909. A naturalist, adventurer, soldier and politician, Theodore Roosevelt became President of the USA in 1901, when he was not quite 43 - the youngest president in the nation's history. He built himself from a frail, asthmatic boy to become one of the most charismatic presidents in history. Responsible for radical reform, and for ensuring the construction of the Panama Canal, Roosevelt steered the US more actively into world politics and crusaded tirelessly for conservation - adding enormously to the national forests in the West.
