great selection of letters

worth a read . in fact a great addition to any theodore roosevelt library

Great Book -- Especially for the Devoted Student of TR

Many excellent historians have taken on the subject of Theodore Roosevelt but, in my opinion, the first rank belongs to Edmund Morris and Professor H.W. Brands. Their knowledge of and passion for the topic of TR is unsurpassed (although their styles are quite different). Brand's "Selected Letters ..." is not really for the casually interested although they will indeed find his widely flung correspondence entertaining and informative. The more devoted student of TR, however, will really find this book interesting and useful. It offers up a more private and candid Roosevelt and, as such, provides some of the context and color behind the large and small historical events of his life.
