Teddy Roosevelt - War Lover



Been a while but we're back! Reading a fascinating new book by Evan Thomas - "The War Lovers." I've read a number of biographies of Theodore Roosevelt but Thomas takes a new take and offers a new perspective to Roosevelt, Henry Cabot Lodge and the entire period of history.

Had no idea that Roosevelt and Lodge rode almost every morning in Rock Creek Park -- can you imagine being able to go for a ride every morning??? But it also goes to Roosevelts determination to command troops in the Spanish-American War. Good read.
