This is a book about politics and politicians; about elections,
lawmaking, governing, and how they work. It is also about power,
its increasing concentration in American society, and its
implications at home and abroad especially for those who exercise
it. It is a book about the Republican Party during the period in
which it developed the forces and frictions which still
characterize it today. Finally, it is a book about a remarkably
successful and vibrant man who contained within himself much of the
best and the worst of his environment, who contributed generously
to American life, who knew in his time disappointment, temptation,
and pain, but also glory; a man remembered most by his intimates
for the "fun of him." The author is in an enviable position to
assess these matters. During five years as Associate Editor of The
Letters of Theodore Roosevelt, he read and studied all TR's letters
as well as all his published works, and delved deeply into the
relevant literature of the period, including the vast material in
the Congressional Record. From this rich store, John Morton Blum
has drawn a new interpretation of Roosevelt the conservative,
Roosevelt the professional Republican politician and Roosevelt the
leader of men. He presents new material on Roosevelt's work as the
manager of the Republican Party and as manager of Congress. He
relates Roosevelt's roles in these situations to his conduct of
foreign policy-a foreign policy so anticipatory of that of
contemporary America-and to his Progressiveness-a doctrine of
government with strong affinities to both the New Deal and the New
Crusade.
