Theodore Roosevelt (1857–1919) was the most literary of American Presidents, writing scores of books, including Through the Brazilian Wilderness and African Game Trails. He was also the most active of American writers. In little more than six decades, Roosevelt was, among many of his activities, a rancher, historian, reformer, New York City Police Commissioner, renowned hunter, New York State Governor, conservationist, Vice President of the United States, and 26th President of the United States. What is less known is that Roosevelt was also one of the great epistolary writers, penning more than 100,000 letters. This collection brings together over 1,000 of Roosevelt's most engaging and revealing letters, ones that fully illuminate the private man and the public figure. Herein, Roosevelt corresponds with family, friends, colleagues, and political opponents. He discusses private matters, politics, military strategy, conservation, diplomacy, higher education, women's rights, literature, and football. The list of addresses is formidable, including: Jefferson Davis, Francis Parkman, Frederick Jackson Turner, John Muir, Andrew Carnegie, Jane Addams, Henry Ford, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, John J. Pershing, Woodrow Wilson, Rudyard Kipling, and Oliver Wendell Holmes. The Selected Letters of Theodore Roosevelt, superbly edited by H. W. Brands, allows Roosevelt to speak in his own inimitable voice. These letters capture the verve and sheer joy of life that was Roosevelt's signature.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A shining portrait of a presciently modern political genius maneuvering in a gilded age of wealth, optimism, excess and American global ascension.”—San Francisco Chronicle WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY • “[Theodore Rex] is one of the great histories of the American presidency, worthy of being on a shelf alongside Henry Adams’s volumes on Jefferson and Madison.”—Times Literary Supplement Theodore Rex is the story—never fully told before—of Theodore Roosevelt’s two world-changing terms as President of the United States. A hundred years before the catastrophe of September 11, 2001, “TR” succeeded to power in the aftermath of an act of terrorism. Youngest of all our chief executives, he rallied a stricken nation with his superhuman energy, charm, and political skills. He proceeded to combat the problems of race and labor relations and trust control while making the Panama Canal possible and winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But his most historic achievement remains his creation of a national conservation policy, and his monument millions of acres of protected parks and forest. Theodore Rex ends with TR leaving office, still only fifty years old, his future reputation secure as one of our greatest presidents.

A riveting narrative of Wall Street buccaneering, political intrigue, and two of American history's most colossal characters, struggling for mastery in an era of social upheaval and rampant inequality. It seemed like no force in the world could slow J. P. Morgan's drive to power. In the summer of 1901, the financier was assembling his next mega-deal: Northern Securities, an enterprise that would affirm his dominance in America's most important industry-the railroads. Then, a bullet from an anarchist's gun put an end to the business-friendly presidency of William McKinley. A new chief executive bounded into office: Theodore Roosevelt. He was convinced that as big business got bigger, the government had to check the influence of the wealthiest or the country would inch ever closer to collapse. By March 1902, battle lines were drawn: the government sued Northern Securities for antitrust violations. But as the case ramped up, the coal miners' union went on strike and the anthracite pits that fueled Morgan's trains and heated the homes of Roosevelt's citizens went silent. With millions of dollars on the line, winter bearing down, and revolution in the air, it was a crisis that neither man alone could solve. Richly detailed and propulsively told, The Hour of Fate is the gripping story of a banker and a president thrown together in the crucible of national emergency even as they fought in court. The outcome of the strike and the case would change the course of our history. Today, as the country again asks whether saving democracy means taming capital, the lessons of Roosevelt and Morgan's time are more urgent than ever.

"Theodore Roosevelt explores the personal and political life of the 26th President of the U.S.A. It considers among other things his 'manliness', a gendered framework of traits for the Gilded Age and Progressive Period guiding him and other men in business, politics and war, and shows how the development of these traits transformed Roosevelt's personal and political decisions. The work covers a storied personal life and emphasizes mental and physical challenges from depression, asthma, partial blindness, and attempted assassination. Cogan addresses the political transformation from traditional to "Square Deal" Republican, to "Bull Moose" Progressive. The text also reviews initiatives dismissing corrupt officials, closing saloons, and arresting pimps; busting monopolies, bettering workplaces and consumer products; and conserving wildlife and natural resources. Contrary to popular misconception, Roosevelt's manliness was not macho masculinity. Rather it was an evolving framework of traits, including courage, service, and Christian morality. Supported by a series of intriguing primary source documents, this book is essential reading for understanding Roosevelt, his era, and his manliness. It is an accessible tool for students and instructors teaching courses on the Gilded Age and Progressive Period in American History."--

The legal profession is in crisis and respect for lawyers seems everywhere in decline This is largely due to how lawyers bill their clients and lawyers'' denial that improper billing practices are causing the destruction of the profession. Fair Deal for All Clients is dedicated to improving the image of lawyers by educating the public about how lawyers bill clients and by convincing lawyers that their billing practices are harming the profession. This book gives concrete suggestions on making clients more knowledgeable about billing practices, teaching lawyers to recognize improper billing practices, and having bar associations provide ethical guidelines to ensure that billing statements are honest. Every client and potential client should read this book to learn how to negotiate fair retainer agreements to protect themselves from unreasonable billing. Every lawyer and law student should read this book so that they can contribute to preserving the legal profession through proper hourly billing practices. "Fair Deal has numerous practical suggestions for attorneys determined to bill fairly and to be paid for their work. Indeed, the book''s target audience is not limited to lawyers but also includes clients, law students, and the general public." -- Richard S. Amador, California Lawyer "Gerry Phillips has provided the legal profession a comprehensive and much needed ethical perspective for twenty-first century practitioners. The moral obligations of the legal profession are clearly articulated in a forthright manner that will inspire those coming into the profession and reignite a sense of purpose for those who have established themselves as members of the legal community. This is a book that should be on every legal professional''s bookshelf!" -- Aine Donovan, Director of the Ethics Institute at Dartmouth College "Gerald Phillips has done the legal profession a great service by digging deep into that most troubling of day-to-day issues: billing clients. His book [...] is a must read for all who practice law, and especially for those responsible for teaching how to bill, whether in law schools or firms. He teaches how to both protect oneself as well as how to be fair to clients. His many years of experience and intense, long-term interest in this subject has enabled him to collect in one place all you could ever want to know about this troubling and crucially important subject." -- Abraham D. Sofaer, Stanford University (USDJ, SDNY, 1979-85) "Gerry Phillips aptly discusses the crime of bill padding that runs rampant in our industry. Our future, as ''holders of the public trust'' means we need to do something about it...now! ...[This ] book provides us with a fascinating look inside what is happening behind the scenes, and the ugly story that is improper client billing by attorneys. He also gives us a good sit-down, talking-to, about why it has to stop." -- Mary Culbert, Loyola Law School Los Angeles "...Fair Deal for All Clients: How to Rekindle Pride in the Legal Profession addresses an extremely important issue in the modern practice of law. The billing practices of lawyers have important implications relating to client relationships, integrity of the profession, ethical conduct, and a host of related issues. The many topics covered in this book are good guidelines for lawyers at all stages in their careers and in all kinds of law-related employment situations. I applaud Gerald Phillips for undertaking this timely and very helpful description of the many considerations involved in legal billing practices." -- Deanell Reece Tacha, Duane & Kelly Roberts Dean, Pepperdine University School of Law "In this important and timely book, Mr. Phillips provides a wealth of highly practical suggestions to help attorneys bill their clients in a fair and ethical manner. The book is much more than a useful roadmap for billing procedures, however, for it explains how unethical billing has eroded respect for the bar and it admonishes attorneys to bill their clients in a manner that will honor the integrity of the legal profession." -- William G. Ross, professor of law at Samford University and author of The Honest Hour: The Ethics of Time-Based Billing by Attorneys. "Gerry Phillips takes on and exposes the inherent conflicts in much of attorney billing methods. He offers/presents alternatives to financing legal services that better align both client and attorney interests -- individual, financial, and moral. An important study for an important profession under scrutiny and stress." -- Maureen Weston, professor of law, Pepperdine School of Law
