.: An Autobiography

Theodore Roosevelt

 

 

Theodore Roosevelt wrote his autobiography after his service as President of the United States. It is very much a public relations piece. It was intended to benefit his Progressive Party and help him realize his dream of a second tenure as President. It is his story as he wanted the world to see it. He leaves out all semblance of weakness and presents himself as the man’s man. He includes explanations of some of his past actions he felt were misunderstood. He makes detailed statements of the Progressive Party Line. In the end, the strongest and most valuable content he provides in his autobiography is a statement of what a values based public servant should be. Theodore Roosevelt’s prose are bold and elegant providing a very readable text. This autobiography is a must in any study of Theodore Roosevelt. How better to get to know him than to read his story in his words.
