To Rescue the American Spirit by Bret Baier

To Rescue the American Spirit by Bret Baier

New York Times Bestseller “This captivating portrayal of Teddy is Bret Baier’s gift to us. From Roosevelt’s resilience over tragedy to his heroism in war, from his midnight rambles as police commissioner to his dramatic fights for reform as governor and president, Baier summons the irrepressible spirit of the man. What an engaging storyteller! What a joy to read!” —Doris Kearns Goodwin From #1 bestselling author and Fox News Channel’s Chief Political Anchor, a fresh and fascinating exploration of the extraordinary life of Teddy Roosevelt, revealing how his bold leadership thrust America onto the world stage and changed the course of world history. "As Bret Baier shows in this wonderfully readable biography, Theodore Roosevelt has many lessons for today." —Walter Isaacson There has never been an American life like Theodore Roosevelt’s. An iconoclast who embodied the energy and bursting potential of the young nation he led, “Teddy” seemed ripped from the pages of an adventure novel. A partial list of his titles include: Gilded Age aristocrat, Dakota rancher, Rough Rider, New York City police commissioner, African big-game hunter, South American explorer, Nobel Peace Prize winner, and president of the United States. His lasting legacy, Bret Baier reveals in this magnificent new biography, is that Roosevelt revitalized the American spirit—challenging the status quo at home, confidently thrusting the nation onto the international stage, and forever transforming America’s place in the world.

"As Bret Baier shows in this wonderfully readable biography, Theodore Roosevelt has many lessons for todayIn his New Nationalism, he combined patriotism with a sense of stewardship, both of our land and institutions. And he embraced the challenge of having the U.S. speak softly but be in service to the world.  Like all of Baier’s biographies, he makes our great presidents relevant to the present." — Walter Isaacson, author of Benjamin Franklin: An American Life "Bret Baier’s To Rescue the American Spirit is a riveting biographical portrait of Theodore Roosevelt in full. Our 26th U.S. president’s maverick instincts, multi-sided intellect and political acumen gallop across these fast-paced pages with bravado for the ages. Expertly researched and colorfully written, this is the story of true American leadership, brave, brilliant and mythic. Never pulling a punch, Baier leads readers to conclude that TR — our cowboy president — truly belongs enshrined on Mount Rushmore. Highly recommended!” — Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Rice University and author of The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America. "To Rescue the American Spirit is an inspiring portrait of Theodore Roosevelt and the promise of our nation at the turn of the twentieth century. Roosevelt’s vision of American leadership — that our strength is in our values — was a bold principle that shaped our nation for more than a century. Bret Baier brings that vision to life and shows how it still has tremendous relevance for today." — Mark Levin, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author "With To Rescue the American Spirit, Bret Baier adds yet another terrific volume to his now-extraordinary series of six books written about key moments of transition in American politics and history. As with his other books, Bret Baier combines the journalist's instinct for narrative with a real flair for identifying critical passages in American history and the people who guided America through those passages." — David Eisenhower, Director, the University of Pennsylvania's Institute for Public Service, and author of Eisenhower: At War, a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in History “Celebrity. Disruptor. Larger-than-life. New Yorker. Assassination survivor. Lawfare target. World peacemaker. Theodore Roosevelt’s story is ripe for our time as we revive the American spirit for America's 250th celebrations. Bret Baier brings his signature journalist eye and voice to paint a vivid and engaging narrative of Theodore Roosevelt, the president who rescued the American spirit. This is Baier at his very best.”  —  Jane Hampton Cook, former White House staffer and author of American Phoenix
