Ruddy, a marketing consultant who also researches US history and the presidency, brings together the ideas of President Theodore Roosevelt, who was also a historian, on American history from 1776 to 1918, drawn from his many writings, such as letters, books, and speeches, as well as newspaper articles about him and individual accounts from others. The ideas are collected in a chronological account in which he discusses previous presidents, presenting often strong opinions about them; his own presidency; events like World War I and the War of 1812; and individuals like Oliver Wendell Holmes, Booker T. Washington, and William Randolph Hearst. He does not discuss the presidencies of John Adams or Ulysses Grant. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
