Renehan, Jr. vividly portrays the grand idealism, heroic bravery, and reckless abandon that Theodore Roosevelt both embodied and bequeathed to his children and the tragic fulfillment of that legacy on the battlefields of World War I.\u003cbr\u003e Drawing upon a wealth of previously unavailable materials, including letters and unpublished memoirs, \u003cem\u003eThe Lion's Pride\u003c\/em\u003e takes us inside what is surely the most extraordinary family ever to occupy the White House. Theodore Roosevelt believed deeply that those who had been blessed with wealth, \u003cbr\u003einfluence, and education were duty bound to lead, even--perhaps especially--if it meant risking their lives to preserve the ideals of democratic civilization. Teddy put his principles, and his life, to the test in the Spanish American war, and raised his children to believe they could do no less.\u003cbr\u003eWhen America finally entered the European conflict in 1917, all four of his sons eagerly enlisted and used their influence not to avoid the front lines but to get there as quickly as possible. Their heroism in France and the Middle East matched their father's at San Juan Hill. All performed with\u003cbr\u003eselfless--some said heedless--courage: Two of the boys, Archie and Ted, Jr., were seriously wounded, and Quentin, the youngest, was killed in a dogfight with seven German planes. Thus, the war that Teddy had lobbied for so furiously brought home a grief that broke his heart. He was buried a few\u003cbr\u003emonths after his youngest child.\u003cbr\u003e Filled with the voices of the entire Roosevelt family, \u003cem\u003eThe Lion's Pride\u003c\/em\u003e gives us the most intimate and moving portrait ever published of the fierce bond between Teddy Roosevelt and his remarkable children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward J.
