The King and the Cowboy: Theodore Roosevelt and Edward the Seventh, Secret Partners Paperback - 2009
by David Fromkin
Renowned historian Fromkin reveals how two unlikely world leaders--King Edward VII of England and Theodore Roosevelt--recast themselves as respected political players and established a friendship that would shape the course of the 20th century in ways never anticipated.
Summary
An intimate look at two extraordinary figures and their secret collaboration?one that turned the alliance structure of the political world upside down
In this character-driven study, acclaimed historian and bestselling author David Fromkin reveals how two colorful figures?Theodore Roosevelt and Edward the Seventh? assumed leadership of the English-speaking world at the beginning of the twentieth century. As human beings, the two men could hardly have been more different. Edward, a lover of fine food, drink, beautiful women, and the pleasure-seeking culture of Paris, had previously been regarded as nothing more than a playboy. Across the Atlantic, Theodore Roosevelt, the aristocrat from Manhattan and self-made cowboy, would rise above his critics to become one of the nation?s most beloved presidents. Together, they wrote the agenda for the North Atlantic democracies of the twentieth century.
