Gable, John A.; Hendrix, Henry J.; Manson, Michael L., 1936-

Three recently published books are reviewed in this issue of the Theodore Roosevelt Association Journal, and all are found to be admirable works. The newly published edition of Theodore Roosevelt’s Letters to His Children, edited by Joan Kerr, is a worthy update, and contains a number of new letters. Kerr includes several letters focusing on Alice Roosevelt Longworth that had not been previously published. Henry Kissinger’s Diplomacy examines international relations broadly, but gives special attention to Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson by using them to frame the evolution of diplomacy. Art Ronnie’s Counterfeit Hero: Fritz Duquesne, Adventurer and Spy, finally, presents a biographical look at a man who “was one of the most exceptional individuals of [the twentieth] century,” and who, among other adventures in a full life, campaigned on behalf of Theodore Roosevelt during the 1912 presidential campaign.
