Acerca de esta escucha

This is the story of Theodore Roosevelt Jr., a fortunate son who proved himself on the battlefields of two world wars. General Omar Bradley said of him, "I have never known a braver man or a more devoted soldier." But for much of his life, Theodore Roosevelt's son Ted seemed born to live in his father's shadow. With the same wide smile, winning charm, and vigorous demeanor, Ted possessed limitless potential, with even the White House within his reach. In the First World War, Ted braved gunfire and gas attacks in France to lead his unit into battle. Yet even after returning home a hero, he was unable to meet the expectations of a public that wanted a man just like his father. A diplomat, writer, and man of great adventure, Ted remained frustrated by his lack of success in the world of politics, witnessing instead the rise of his cousin, Franklin, to the office that had once seemed his for the taking. Then, with World War II looming, Ted reenlisted. In his midfifties, with a gimpy leg and a heart condition, he was well past his prime, but his insistence to be in the thick of combat proved a vital asset. Paired with the irascible Terry de la Mesa Allen Sr., Ted soon distinguished himself as a front-line general in a campaign that often brought him into conflict with another hard fighter, George Patton. On D-day Ted became the oldest soldier and the only general in the Allied forces to storm the beach in the first wave, hobbling across the sand with his cane in one hand and a pistol in the other. His valor and leadership on Utah Beach became the stuff of legends - and earned him the Medal of Honor.

His Father's Son delves into the life of a man as courageous, colorful, and unwavering as any of the Roosevelt clan and offers up a definitive portrait of one of America's greatest military heroes.

Probably the best son of a President.

Great story of a man who lived to serve and did just that. From WW1 to D-Day in WWII pretty amazing man!

The son of a hero is a hero himself

The story of the Roosevelt family is not complete without knowing about Ted Jr. Maybe his timing in politics was off and conflicted with the rising of his cousin. Nevertheless, Ted Jr's life did homage to his father and honor to America. A must read if you like the Roosevelt's.
The reading sounded awkward sometimes because of the chopped sentences, probably an editing issue.

His Father’s Son: The Life of General Ted Roosevelt, Jr

Tim Brady

Fascinating, educational, inspirational.

Many of us know the story of Theodore Roosevelt. His life was amazing. A large part of why he fought in the Spanish-American War with his Rough Riders was that his father, Theodore Roosevelt, Sr, had not fought in the Civil War. He wanted to make up for the only flaw he could find in his otherwise perfect father.

The story of HIS son is an extension of that purpose.

His son, TR, Jr, chased after him in adventures around Sagamore Hill. And beyond.

TR, Jr would never be President, or NY Governor, though he tried. He would be supplanted in the political arena by a distant cousin who used his father’s name to achieve political success.

Yet militarily, Ted would achieve much more than his father. TR said his son made him very proud, because his own military experience was “bow and arrows” compared to his son’s. And that was only in WWI. In WWII, Ted would fight across Africa, Sicily, Italy, and Normandy. He most certainly would have made his father proud.

This book describes a life which would have been well lived even without TR, Junior’s famous father.

Well worth reading. And emulating.
