Subject: Theodore Rex (the title is taken from a quip by Henry James) tells the story of the following seven and a half years-years in which TR entertains, infuriates, amuses, strong-arms, and seduces the body politic into a state of almost total subservience to his will. It is not always a pretty story: one of the revelations here is that TR was hated and feared by a substantial minority of his fellow citizens. Wall Street, the white South, Western lumber barons, even his own Republican leadership in Congress strive to harness his steadily increasing power. https://www.amazon.com/Theodore-Rex-Edmund-Morris/dp/0394555090/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3MELMTVLXA8VT&keywords=9780394555096&qid=1684153748&sprefix=9%2Caps%2C101&sr=8-1
