Perhaps America's greatest peacetime President, Theodore Roosevelt was a man of contradictions: a sickly child who came to symbolize strength and virility; a child of wealth who fought the wealthy on behalf of the common man; A New Yorker who made himself a cowboy; a hunter who built the national park system; a man who enjoyed war but accomplished peace.  Connecting the dots between these seeming contradictions is a fascinating story, the story of Theodore Roosevelt.
