Title: Fit as a Bull Moose
Review: This is one of the best books ever done on a US president. Morris, after a less than satisfactory turn as Ronald Reagan's biographer, is in fine form and I cannot wait for the next volume in this series.Morris brings a real understanding of his subject in this book, the second in a series, projected to include three volumes. Prior to Morris, there were any number of fine books that dealt with TR's era, but each had its failings. I am happy to state that at last Teddy Roosevelt has found a biography that is worthy of his greatness.The strengths of the book are easy to list. First of all Morris knows his subject. He also understands the era and is very good about providing context. This last quality is something that is necessary in all great biographies, but is lacking in most of them. I cannot wait for the next installment.
