What a huge disappointment. the first thirty pages with its less than thinly veiled attempt to link Roosevelt with the Aryan beliefs of the Nazis is just plain ghastly. having become quite a Roosevelt fan over the past three years, I'm 75, I am appalled by the lack of scholarship and knowledge displayed in the book. Roosevelt, a man who crowded at least three lifetimes into his brief sixty years deserved much better. He to me, grandson of two Eastern Pennsylvania Coal Miners, demonstrated traits that I have both developed myself and have encouraged in my children and grandchildren. Summed up they are to get to KNOW the people, work with your hands among the people, live with the people, share the joy and heartbreak of the people. Then and only then can you speak for the people and Theodore Roosevelt did just that. he was a man, of the people, not just of his time but a man who looked to the future and what could be. Robert Kennedy once stole a line, "Some men see things as they are, and say why. I dream of things that never were, and say why not." Perhaps it was stolen from President Roosevelt.
