About this title: The advent of war with Spain was a glorious opportunity for forceful leadership not to be missed by the hotheaded young Theodore Roosevelt. He resigned his post as assistant-secretary of the Navy in April, 1898, and, despite the strong disapproval of family and friends, he joined the Army as Lt. Colonel of a regiment to be raised in the territories of Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. He ordered a uniform from Brooks Brothers, a dozen pairs of steel spectacles, a couple of good, stout, quiet horses, and he was off to train his volunteers at San Antonio.

"I really enjoyed this book. I didn't know much about the Rough Riders beforehand, but now I feel like I do. I always have a hard time imagining battle scenes, so my favourite parts of the book were those about the training and the different men. Roosevelt truly loved those he served with. It added a depth of humanity to Roosevelt that I had never thought about before."
"Very interesting from a historical perspective. Gave it 3 stars because it reads a bit like a military report so it can be a little bit slow moving at times."
"Very interesting to read this book and about the experience 1st hand from Teddy Roosevelt. Not as big of a braggart as I was expecting and spent most of the book extolling the men he served with."
