"At a young age, my mother instilled in me the value of finishing what I start. This is one volume that makes me regret not adding that to the long list of her values that I rejected somewhere along the way! I jumped right into this one, and it took me forever to get around to finishing it. Yes, it is that bad.
I love revisionist history, even when I disagree with the author's thesis. The problem being Powell´s thesis seems to be as simple as ¨Hey, I dislike Teddy.¨ He attacks from the left, he attacks from the right and when he runs out of any angle with which to go after him, he simply narates well known history, such as that of the railroads, and then spends a couple pages going after the progressive movement as a whole rather than the object of his disdain. In one small volume, Teddy is both too liberal and too conservative. The book lacks any cohesion, and is simply a personal assault...think of Ann Coulter, but Powell lacks both her acidic wit and her mastery of the english language.
This one reminds me that often those books we find marked down in the bargain bin are generally there for a reason."
