from Simon & Schuster
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:
One of McCullough's early books, 'Mornings on Horseback' may surprise readers more accustomed to the author's definitive treatments of Harry Truman or John Adams. The intentions of 'Mornings on Horseback' are slightly more modest than either of those books: it documents only Theodore Roosevelt's... more info

from Cumberland House Publishing
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
What a wonderful book! Teddy Roosevelt was brilliantly ressurected for us by George Grant in this comprehensive, yet easy-to-read work (because of the chapter lengths). Section 1 is a biography of his life; Section 2 contains short chapters on his character, and many sides to his life; Section 3... more info

from Belknap Press

Customer Review:
Daniel Rodgers' thesis in Atlantic Crossings is simple and direct: "the reconstruction of American social politics was of a part with movements of politics and ideas throughout the North Atlantic world that trade and capitalism had tied together."

from Vintage
Price: $12.89

Customer Review:
W.R. Leach writes about the beginning of consumerism in the U.S. around 1910/20. He writes with much verve about his theme, which makes the book an ageeable read.
But for my taste the book is somewhat short on analysis. For example: there is much talk of the connection between selling and... more info

by trying to read this book. Quoting another reviewer, the author is "often guilty of over-generalizing, over-intellectualizing, & inundating his work with an excessive use of abstractions".

from Quill/William Morrow
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:
I feel the same as some of the other reviewers here. The coverage of Roosevelts presidency was somewhat limited as was his post presidential accomplishments. It seems as if Miller was rushed for time when writing the conclusion. Had this been a two volume set and each part of Roosevelts life given... more info
