THE LION'S PRIDE Theodore Roosevelt and His Family in Peace and War

THE LION'S PRIDE is not an exhaustive biography of Theodore Roosevelt, nor is it an account of his presidential years; it is an intimate look at his relationships with his family, especially his four sons and particularly in time of war. Ted, Kermit, Archie and Quentin grew up hearing stories about the volunteer Rough Riders their father commanded in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. They in turn tested themselves and their ideas of duty, honor, and valor in front-line combat during the First World War. John McDonough narrates in a warm, clear, and straight-forward voice that gives the listener welcome access to this fascinating and little-known aspect of the Roosevelt family.
