As a cornerstone of American political literature, this compilation contextualizes the evolution of executive power and policy making during a formative period in U.S. history. Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States, was a man of action and intellect, deeply influenced by the tumultuous era of industrialization and social upheaval.
