July 1918. Preparing to speak to an eager audience, 61-year-old
Teddy Roosevelt receives the telegram that all parents of children
who serve in war fear most: His son Quentin's plane has been shot
down in a dogfight over France. His fate is unknown. Despite rising
fear for his youngest son, Teddy takes the stage to speak to his
beloved fellow citizens. It is, he says, "my simple duty." But the
speech evolves from politics and the war, into an examination of
his life, the choices he's made, and the costs of his "Warrior
Philosophy." Overflowing with his love of nature, adventure, and
justice, Teddy dramatically illustrates the life of one of
America's greatest presidents. His many accomplishments ranged from
charging up San Juan Hill in Cuba as commander of the Rough Riders,
to facing down U.S. corporate monopolies, to launching the Great
White Fleet, building the Panama Canal, and the preservation of
hundreds of millions of acres of natural American beauty. And
finally, to the vigorous life at Sagamore Hill and his immense
pride in a beloved and rambunctious family. Teddy reveals how even
the greatest of men is still just a man, and how even the most
modest man can grow to be great.
