George S. Patton was once asked who was the bravest soldier he ever knew. His answer? Ted Roosevelt, Jr.The sentiment was echoed by Omar Bradley who maintained that the essence of heroism could be said in just four words: "Ted Roosevelt, Utah Beach."
The eldest son of one of the most remarkable men in American history, Ted himself was a man of astounding character and achievement, whether it was as a statesman, a soldier or a loving husband and father.
I've really enjoyed re-reading a splendid biography on Ted Roosevelt, one that also includes great material on Ted's parents, siblings and his own family. I think you might enjoy it too. So check out Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.: The Life of a War Hero by H. Paul Jeffers. It's published by Presido Press, Inc. (You can find copies for as little as $4.)
The best historical reading is that which impacts the way you live today. This informative and inspiring book will certainly provide that opportunity.
