"Joshua David Hawley has made a contribution to this literature
with a different kind of biography, offering a fresh interpretation
of Roosevelt. . . . Hawley is an impressive researcher . . . at
times eloquent. . . . This is a persuasive book." —Ryan J.
Barilleaux, The Historian
“Hawley situates Roosevelt in a rich political/intellectual culture
that stretches from the 1870s until the First World War and
provides a perspective on Theodore Roosevelt that is largely
missing from current historiography.”—Mark Lytle, Bard College
“A fresh and persuasive approach to Theodore Roosevelt.”—John
Morton Blum, Yale University
“Theodore Roosevelt deserves to be acknowledged at least as much
for what he thought as for what he did, and with this book Hawley
at last redresses the balance between Roosevelt the thinker and
Roosevelt the doer. Those who read Preacher of Righteousness will
never again be able to dismiss him simply as 'pure act', a
legendary description archly tendered by Roosevelt's learned
friend, Henry Adams.”—From the Foreword by David Kennedy
“Joshua Hawley has made an important contribution to the literature
on Theodore Roosevelt. His well-written study reminds readers that
Roosevelt was a provocative political thinker whose influence on
American thought and institutions continues to be profound.
Hawley’s work captures the energy and insight that Roosevelt
brought to the art of politics.”—Lewis L. Gould, author of Grand
Old Party: A History of the Republicans
