Serge Ricard argues that Theodore Roosevelt was very well prepared by temperament and experience to be a masterful diplomat as president. Ricard does not dwell on Roosevelt’s actions as president, but instead examines the ideas and beliefs that informed his approach to foreign policy, highlighting his insistence on peacetime preparation for war. Ricard dwells on Roosevelt’s fears about Japanese and German threats to American security, and he also discusses Roosevelt’s thoughts on Russia, Great Britain, and France.
Photographs of Ricard, Roosevelt, and Roosevelt’s son Archibald B. Roosevelt supplement the text.
