Theodore Rex
886 p., illus. Hardcover Very good condition very good d.j. Theodore Rex tells the story of the seven and a half years-years in which TR entertains, infuriates, amuses, strong-arms, and seduces the body politic into a state of almost total subservience to his will. It is not always a pretty story: one of the revelations here is that TR was hated and feared by a substantial minority of his fellow citizens.
