About this product
Product Information
In 1912, Theodore Roosevelt came out of retirement to challenge William Howard Taft for the Republican nomination. TR seized on the campaign theme "Let the People Rule"--a cry echoed in today's elections--and through the course of his run helped create thirteen new primaries. Though he won most of the primaries, party bosses proved too powerful, and Roosevelt walked out of the convention to create his own Bull Moose Party--only to make the shocking political calculation to ban black delegates from his new coalition. In Let the People Rule, Geoffrey Cowan takes readers inside the dramatic campaign that changed American politics forever.

Reviews
A rich, eye-popping political history. Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive hero, but he could play as rough as today's most cynically expedient politicians., Rips the lid off of the 1912 presidentialelection. Cowan brilliantly illuminates everything from the birth of the politicalprimary system to the disenfranchisement of African Americans to egos writ large.The narrative has a marvelous flow and the research is superb., For those of us who believe that modern American politics began at the turn of the twentieth and not the twenty-first century, Geoff Cowan has produced a fresh contribution to the argument. The modern mechanics of presidential selection, the rise of candidacies largely independent of party, and the mobilization of autonomous supporters: all come to life in Let the People Rule., A lively, relevant primer in the sausage-making of candidate selection...Few historians have given this shameful chapter in the Progressive Party the attention that it deserves., Cowan has brilliantly re-created a pivotal moment in American political history...brought vividly to life through dogged and creative research and graceful storytelling. Political junkies across America are buckling in for another tumultuous primary season in 2016--and they couldn't find a better way to prepare than to devour this rollicking and remarkably current tale of how it all began, over a century ago., Lively and detailed history...Besides the sheer action afforded by the vivid narrative and larger-than-life personalities, this book offers obvious parallels with current political fights and illuminates their origins., A fresh and perceptive look... Based on extensive research in original sources, Let the People Rule laces striking information on TR's race against President Taft with new insights and a fresh and important analysis. Let the People Rule is the book to read on Roosevelt's pivotal year., You wouldn't think that there would be anything new to say about Theodore Roosevelt by now. But Geoffrey Cowan has brought to life a fascinating part of TR's story usually left out of the history books. He tells it with verve and suspense, warts and all, his insights deepened by his own impressive background as a democracy activist., The 1912 presidential campaign makes for a dazzling story, and Mr. Cowan tells it well.... [he] brings fresh depth and breadth to this sordid tale. Thus do we see, through his research and deft storytelling, how reform movements are often encased in self-interested cant., Cowan has written a rich, eye-popping political history. Teddy Roosevelt was a progressive hero, but he couldplay as rough as today's most cynically expedient politicians., A suspenseful narrative, replete with larger-than-life personalities, and a must-read backstory for anyone concerned with the history and fate of a democracy that, at its best, aims to 'Let the People Rule.', A fresh and perceptive look... Based on extensive research in original sources, Letthe People Rule laces striking information on TR's race against President Taftwith new insights and a fresh and important analysis. Let the People Ruleis the book to read on Roosevelt's pivotal year., Brings New Insight to a Well-Worn Story.... Cowan Paints an Admirably Nuanced Picture of Roosevelt., The political process as Hunger Games: no matter which tribute emerges as victor, the Gamemaker has the power. Teddy Roosevelt changed the system and still couldn't beat the odds.
