The Last Charge of the Rough Rider

The story of the last two years of Theodore Roosevelt’s life, from April 1917 to January 6, 1919—a time when he was plagued by illness and injury, denied leadership of his own regiment in World War I, and lost his son Quentin, but also one when he made plans for another run at the Presidency and set the stage for the 1918 rise of the Republican Party.
