Bully for 'Lion'

0 Comments | USA TODAY, December, 2007 | by Deirdre Donahue

Entire forests have been felled in the service of biographers seeking to chart Theodore Roosevelt's life, career and enduring grip on the American imagination. Aida Donald's Lion in the White House (Basic Books, $26) offers, in 265 crisply written pages, the facts of the popular president's life, with an upbeat emphasis on his many achievements. The result is a cogent overview for someone eager to go beyond what he or she recalls from high school history.
