Böcker av Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919) was America''s most published president with an incredible output of writing including forty books, over a thousand articles, and countless speeches and letters.  Collected here in one volume are examples of Roosevelt’s voluminous writings over a dazzling array of topics. Organized by general categories, readers can sample writings on subjects as varied as the environment, the danger of professional sports; the famous charge of San Juan Hill, and Roosevelt’s passion for literary criticism. From addresses and presidential messages on public policy and national ideals, to biography, to travel writing, to ecological concerns, to writings on hunting, to international politics and history, Roosevelt’s talents and achievements as a writer went far beyond what we now expect of our public leaders. Roosevelt’s legacy as one of the first progressive American politicians, his concerns about environmentalism, his internationalism, and his unflinching belief in the American character and destiny uncannily speak to the issues of our own day and can be found in the pages of this representative and judicious anthology of his work.

The Strenuous Life is a classic from President Theodore Roosevelt. In it, he describes how strenuous effort and hardships have lead to his improvement as a person.

Cromwell lived in an age when it was not possible to realize a government based upon those large principles of social, political, and religious liberty in which-at any rate, during his earlier years-he sincerely believed; but the movement of which he was the head was the first of the great movements which, marching along essentially the same lines, have produced the English-speaking world as we at present know it. So far from this great movement, of which Puritanism was merely one manifestation, being the last of a succession of similar heroisms, it had practically very much less connection with what went before than with all that has guided us in our history since. The men who figured in it and the principles for which they contended, are strictly akin to the men and the principles that have appeared in all similar great movements since. We must keep ever in mind the essentially modern character of the movement if we are to appreciate its true inwardness, its true significance. Fundamentally, it was the first struggle for religious, political, and social freedom, as we now understand the terms.

"We should feel a real friendship for each other of the contesting powers and a real desire to work so as to secure justice for each." Theodore Roosevelt's influence on American politics remains unbroken, even after finishing his term of office as the 26th President of the United States.In this volume, first published in 1915, he comments on the US's belated entry into the First World War, delivers a manifesto against keeping neutrality and criticizes the acting President Wilson and his foreign policy.He tries to answer the question of moral, ethical and practical reasons for the US's entry into the First World War - not only to give a precise evaluation of American politics, but also to legitimize his continuing political influence.

"Facing the immense complexity of modern social and industrial conditions, there is need to use freely and unhesitatingly the collective power of all of us; and yet no exercise of collective power will ever avail if the average individual does not keep his or her sense of personal duty, initiative, and responsibility." -Theodore Roosevelt, Foreword Theodore Roosevelt-An AutobiographyTheodore Roosevelt-An Autobiography written by Theodore Roosevelt in 1913, several years after his presidency of the US, is a wide-ranging book about a fascinating person. It begins with Roosevelt's childhood and how he grew from a sickly and weak youngster to a strong man; from working on ranches to leading the Rough Riders during the Spanish-American War; from being a New York governor to becoming the youngest President ever; from being a conservationist to being the first American to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for brokering peace in the Russo-Japanese War.Theodore Roosevelt was also a historian and author, and this well-written autobiography-in the original illustrated edition-is required reading for students of history and anyone interested in being inspired by a different kind of politician.
