I never enjoyed required school reading so much. This book really got me into biographies for the first time. Like a snapshot of the times. I learned so much.

Really enjoyed the book. TR overcame so many obstacles. Especially enjoyed learning about his father who had such an influence on him. Highly recommend it.
