A disappointing offering from the larger-than-life Teddy Roosevelt who is normally an excellent writer.
In this book, Roosevelt writes the history indicated in his wordy title (hard even to fit on a decent cover), but writes it as a recorder of operational reports and captains journals. Most of the b

This is a critical history and not for lig
