"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 -- Mark Lytle "A fresh and persuasive approach to Theodore Roosevelt."-John Morton Blum, Yale University -- John Morton Blum "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 -- 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 -- Lewis L. Gould "Joshua Hawley's achievement is that he does not let us forget that, with all his idiosyncrasies, Theodore Roosevelt remains one of America's great figures."-Henry S. Cohn, The Federal Lawyer -- Henry S. Cohn The Federal Lawyer "The author analyzes his subject so as to explain how a headstrong, elitist continues to be listed among our greater presidents."-John M. and Priscilla S. Taylor, Washington Times -- John M. and Priscilla S. Taylor Washington Times "Hawley has pieced together an interesting interpretation of Theodore Roosevelt... [A] well-written, insightful book. Recommended."-Choice Choice
