The Rough Riders

This fascinating book is his first-hand account of his experiences during this campaign. In addition to providing an intriguing perspective on the battles in which the Rough Riders participated, along with their lead-up and aftermath, Roosevelt shares unique insights on leadership, dealing with red tape, and many other situations that are all too familiar to individuals in positions of responsibility, making this an incredibly useful and applicable book even for modern readers from a wide variety of backgrounds. This AOG Edition of "The Rough Riders" includes the full text of Roosevelt's original work, along with supplemental study and discussion materials after each chapter.
