Book Synopsis
A psychological portrait of the twenty-sixth president of the United States, a man whose personal obsession with masculinity profoundly influenced the fate of a nation. This book argues that Theodore Roosevelt struggled, like many of his contemporaries, with what it meant to be a man in the modern era.

Trade Review
"Watts probes not so much the public life of her subject as the darker interaction between his private psyche and the culture and politics of early 20th-century America. The result is a superb scholarly study of how Roosevelt built his political base on the aspiration and fears of men in a rapidly changing nation and world." - Library Journal"
