Acerca de esta escucha

Before Theodore Roosevelt - or "Teddy," as he is more commonly known - became the 26th president of the United States, he served as the Lieutenant Colonel of the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry, nicknamed the "Rough Riders", during the Spanish-American War. This fascinating audiobook 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 audiobook even for modern listeners from a wide variety of backgrounds.

This book is about the Rough Riders, a volunteer cavalry regiment during the Spanish-American War and their fearless leader Theodore Roosevelt. This was a great rendition of the Rough Riders. It delved deep into the story of these volunteers. I learned quite a few new things about the regiment and enjoyed listening to CJ McAllister. I knew that the Rough Riders were one of the more culturally diverse regiments in history but until listening to this book, didnt realize how much.

After each chapter there are discussion questions to go over. I listened to this book for my own edification so while the discussion questions seemed great for a student/ teacher, I could have skipped over them.
The narrator did a good job. He has a nice slow cadence, though his inflections were pretty rare. If you are a person that likes a faster paced reader, this can be rectified by putting the play speed to 1.1 or 1.25.

Overall, this was a very educational and entertaining book. I recommend it for any Teddy lovers.

Lots of interesting history here from a colorful character. They don't make them like this anymore.
Well narrated by C.J. McAllister. He does a great job keeping the flow of the story going.

Interesting Historical Narrative

This is Teddy Roosevelt's story, straight from the "horse's mouth." History buffs will find the story interesting. Those looking for something more like a novel will be disappointed. The narrator had such a clear voice with such perfect annunciation that I, at times, wondered if it was synthesized. To be clear, I do not mean this in a bad way. Not once did I say to myself, "What did he say?" I would listen to more by this narrator.

I’m surprised at some of the things this man did. To the point that couldn’t believe he was an actually person. Granted I’m sure there is an embellish overall I believed he was one of our more interesting presidents

Interesting man almost too interesting

This Audio Book can give you a great reference point into the thinking of one of our most interesting leaders.

His sense of adventure and destiny intertwined with his views of leadership can be perceived while listening to this Book.

If you want a better understanding of a complex man who became President then this is time well spent.


The Narrator helped make it a good experience.

Teddy Roosevelt was always my favorite president, and this is a phenomenal background to his life story. I very much enjoyed the story of Roosevelt's earlier days.

The narration is clear and easy to understand, and the narrator didn't get in the way of the story at all. All around, a well-told story.

Fantastic book!

If you've never heard about the Rough Riders before, you definitely want to listen to this one. I myself knew very little about them, and was glad to have the opportunity to learn more about them, especially told by Teddy Roosevelt himself, the 26th President of the United States of America. Go USA!

Very interesting information about this regiment, a volunteer cavalry regiment known as the Rough Riders. Roosevelt served as the Lieutenant Colonel of this group, the 1st United States Voluntary Cavalry, during the time of the Spanish-American war. It goes into the the battles they participated in, before & after, all the good stuff you'd want to know.

Very educational and I loved listening to it!

The Rough Riders: AOG Annotated Edition. It is a piece of history told by a amn who later became President. The story/history of the "Rough Riders" a volunteer cavalry regiment, hastily formed in time for action in the Spanish war. It is primarily about the men of the regiment and their part in Cuba. But in reality his writings unwittingly tell more of the man and his character.
After listening to this account I'm beginning to think it would be a good thing if all presidents had served as military officers.
C.J McAllister's narration is great - calm & clear, I've listened to a few of his works and he always reminds me of John Wayne, in his tone and cadence.

A piece of history

Se ha producido un error. Vuelve a intentarlo dentro de unos minutos.

This was an interesting listen all about the Rough Riders. Told from former President Teddy Roosevelt's point of view, it was interesting to hear about the beginning and adventures of the Rough Riders. This is a good learning assistant for school or if you're just wanting a snapshot of this important historical group. The narration was lacking for me. The narrator seemed a bit flat. C.J. McAllister neither helped nor harmed reading this book. He does have a pleasant voice and read at a nice pace, I just felt something was missing while he read.
