Why read it?
1 author picked Power and Responsibility as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Despite being written in 1961, Harbaugh’s work remains the best one-volume biography of Theodore Roosevelt.
I found the book extremely thorough and even handed. I also believe it is a great work to introduce those who have not read a book about Theodore Roosevelt before. Harbaugh, who taught at the University of Virginia for many years, explains the complex issues Roosevelt confronted with great clarity making this survey about the Rough Rider a great choice for anyone who is interested in learning about one of the most fascinating figures the United States has ever produced.
From Laurence's list on the lives of Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge.
