From Publishers Weekly: Theodore Roosevelt's writings collected here reflect his varied roles and interests as president, soldier, patriot, naval reformer, naturalist, conservationist, explorer and big-game hunter. A man of causes and contradictions, his contradictions are very much on dispay in these pages, as DiNunzio points out. Roosevelt expresses outrage over the wanton slaughter of game, yet he and his son Kermit kill more than 500 animals on an African safari. He supports equal rights for women but holds traditional views about their place in the home. Not a few of Roosevelt's opinions fall far short of political correctness by today's standards.This paperback book is in fair condition and will be shipped free of charge to one randomly selected person who leaves a comment including name, e-mail address and U.S. mailing address by 11:59 PM PDT Friday, October 30, 2009.
