The Crowded Hour
Book • 2019
It tells the story of Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders, Risen argues that the Rough Riders and the Spanish-American War were more than just a sideshow, and that TR's famous charge was essential to the US’s emergence as a world power.
The Crowded Hour is a lively, behind-the-scenes account of a turning point in American history—and a brilliant portrayal of one of our most remarkable presidents.
