An intimate look at two extraordinary figures and their secret collaboration one that turned the alliance structure of the political world upside down.
In this character-driven study, acclaimed historian and bestselling author David Fromkin reveals how two colorful figures Theodore Roosevelt and Edward the Seventh assumed leadership of the English-speaking world at the beginning of the twentieth century. As human beings, the two men could hardly have been more different. Edward, a lover of fine food, drink, beautiful women, and the pleasure-seeking culture of Paris, had previously been regarded as nothing more than a playboy. Across the Atlantic, Theodore Roosevelt, the aristocrat from Manhattan and self-made cowboy, would rise above his critics to become one of the nation's most beloved presidents. Together, they wrote the agenda for the North Atlantic democracies of the twentieth century.
