Roosevelt: A Giant Among Leaders

Theodore Roosevelt stands out as one of the most exceptional leaders in American history. He was a devoted husband and father, a politician, a soldier, a war journalist, an editor, a cattle rancher, a scientist, a writer, an athlete, a hunter, and a diplomat.

While the list of his exploits seems imposing, it was his passionate commitment to what he believed was right and good and true that was dynamically compelling—even to those who opposed him.

Theodore Roosevelt was a hero.

In this thought-provoking look at his leadership in action, we see why he not only earned the respect and admiration of his contemporaries, but why, even today, he continues to capture our imagination.

“For me Theodore Roosevelt has always been a caricature, a political cartoon with a stick and coke-bottom glasses, riding up San Juan hill. Now, through this wonderful retelling of his life, this larger-than-life image has become a real, living and breathing person—still large, to be sure, and most definitely now alive.” —Michael Card, best-selling recording artist, songwriter, and author
