An exploration of Roosevelt's political thought and the impact of
his legacy on modern America "Hawley has pieced together an
interesting interpretation of Theodore Roosevelt"-Choice Often
dismissed by scholars as an opportunistic politician whose ideas
lacked historical import, Theodore Roosevelt has been
underestimated as a thinker. But to disdain Roosevelt's politics is
to overlook his important and lasting contributions to the shape of
modern America, says the author of this compelling study of the
26th president of the United States. Senator Joshua Hawley examines
Roosevelt's political thought more deeply than ever before to
arrive at a fully revised understanding of his legacy: Roosevelt
galvanized a twenty-year period of national reform that permanently
altered American politics and Americans' expectations for
government, social progress, and presidents. The book explores the
historical context of Theodore Roosevelt's politics, its
intellectual sources, its practice, and its effect on his era and
our own. Hawley finds that Roosevelt developed a coherent political
science centered on the theme of righteousness, and this "warrior
republicanism" was what made the progressive era possible. The
debates of Roosevelt's era were driven largely by his ideas, and
from those debates emerged the grammar of our contemporary
politics. Casting new light on the fertility and breadth of
Roosevelt's thought, Hawley reveals the full extent of his
achievement in twentieth-century intellectual history.
