Colonel Roosevelt
This biography by Edmund Morris, the Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning author of The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex, marks the completion of a trilogy sure to stand as definitive.
Of all our great presidents, Theodore Roosevelt is the only one whose greatness increased out of office. What other president has written forty books, hunted lions, founded a third political party, survived an assassin's bullet, and explored an unknown river longer than the Rhine?
Packed with more adventure, variety, drama, humor, and tragedy than a big novel, yet documented down to the smallest fact, this masterwork recounts the last decade of perhaps the most amazing life in American history.
"Hair-raising . . . awe-inspiring . . . a worthy close to a trilogy sure to be regarded as one of the best studies not just of any president, but of any American."--San Francisco Chronicle

He almost died...partway through the expedition, sick with malaria "he was more dead than alive when he got to the halfway camp...his pulse had accelerated, his blood pressure had dropped. At least he did not become delirious again overnight." - "Colonel Roosevelt," Edmund Morris https://t.co/F4DxEnpjl1
Praise for this book
"Exemplary . . . Consistently rich and on point, with rapidly developing events providing a backdrop for the balanced examination [Morris] presents of his subject. . . . The [Theodore Roosevelt] trilogy is masterful, and can rightfully take its place among the truly outstanding biographies of the American presidency."--Los Angeles Times
"Reading Edmund Morris on Teddy Roosevelt is like listening to Yo-Yo Ma play Bach: You know from the first note you're in inspired hands. In Colonel Roosevelt--the final installment in a trilogy that began with The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt and Theodore Rex--Morris registers the Bull Moose's last decade in handsome, sweeping prose that avoids the valedictory chord struck by biographers who, nearing the end of their prodigious labors, resort to swooning across the chapters, unwilling to let go of their muse."--The Washingtonian
"Colonel Roosevelt, the third part of his three-volume biography of Roosevelt, is a worthy and extremely engaging culmination of Mr. Morris' work. It is popular history at its best."--Claude R. Marx, The Washington Times
