    The New York Times Book Review called Edmund Morris’s biography The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, “one of those rare works that is both definitive for the period it covers and fascinating to read for sheer entertainment.” Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award, the book forms a definitive trilogy—with Theodore Rex and his new biography, Colonel Roosevelt—about an extraordinary American President who, among other things, wrote 40 books, hunted lions, founded a third political party, survived an assassin’s bullet, and explored an unknown river longer than the Rhine.
