520    "In one of his most accomplished, compelling novels yet, 
       acclaimed New York Times bestseller Jeff Shaara 
       accomplishes what only the finest historical fiction can 
       do - he brings to life one of the most consequential 
       figures in U.S. history - Theodore Roosevelt - peeling 
       back the many-layered history of the man, and the country 
       he personified. From the mid-nineteenth century to the 
       early twentieth century, from the waning days of the 
       rugged frontier of a young country to the emergence of a 
       modern, industrial nation exerting its power on the world 
       stage, Theodore Roosevelt embodied both the myth and 
       reality of the country he loved and led. From his 
       upbringing in the rarefied air of New York society of the 
       late 19th century to his time in rough-and-tumble world of
       the Badlands in the Dakotas, from his rise from political 
       obscurity to Assistant Secretary of the Navy, from 
       national hero as the leader of the Rough Riders in the 
       Spanish-American War to his accidental rise to the 
       Presidency itself, Roosevelt embodied the complex, often 
       contradictory, image of America itself. In gripping prose,
       Shaara tells the story of the man who both defined and 
       created the modern United States"--|cProvided by
