Excerpt from Roosevelt: A Study in AmbivalenceNot even be mentioned. My psycho analytic interpretation oi Colonel Roosevelt contains much that is startling. It adds to the portrait of Theo dore Roosevelt a line here and there that cannot be erased by. The relentless years, nor by their relenting historians. There is no question that I understand Theo dore Roosevelt. On that point I have Mr. Roosevelt's own testimony. Nor is there any doubt that I can wield a pen. The very men who would place a Maxim silencer on my poor efforts bear witness to that fact, unless their own literary verdicts were indeed scraps of paper. Nevertheless, in the present instance, the voice of the reviewer Will be hushed. There may be, now and then, a quotation from one of the Colonel's letters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
