A review by tarmstrong112
The Rough Riders by Theodore Roosevelt
4.0
Col. Roosevelt's energy and enthusiasm shines in this account of his time as leader of the Rough Riders during the Spanish American War. I enjoyed this account very much, though at times I felt it dragged on in places, it was till very exciting.
Roosevelt does have a highly romanticized view of war, to the point where the wounded men don't make a peep and all the men die valiantly. This view certainly doesn't jive with the sometimes graphic descriptions of the wounds men did suffer written in this book.
