The Colonel - Edmund Morris.

This was a great book.  The writing is crisp and even as a very long book and the third in the Morris series it stayed on track and was full of new information.  After six Roosevelt bios you would think I would not be surprised any more, but the fact that this man was such a force, did so much for conservation, and got a Nobel peace prize contrasts with his over kill of hunted specimens, his readiness and love of war, and all the other foibles of one of the most compicated and important men in our history.

I have written about this before so this is a very brief, but strong recommendation.
