Theodore Rex is the second volume of Edmund Morris's trilogy on the life of Theodore Roosevelt.
It chronicles Roosevelt's two terms as President, from his assumption of power after President McKinley's assassination to his departure from office in 1909.

Morris portrays Roosevelt as a dynamic leader who balanced his impulsiveness with pragmatism and significantly reshaped the office of the presidency to meet the needs of the new century.
