This book argues that the Roosevelts' rise to power and prestige was driven by intense personal contests that at times devolved into a blood sport because the family was at war with itself---torn apart by jealousy, one-up-manship, the strong devouring the weak, and dismissing the inconvenient (people as well as circumstances). The Oyster Bay Roosevelts (TR's clan) and the Hyde Park Roosevelts (FDR's family) would never fully heal the breach between their families.

The story of the four-month campaign that changed American politics forever. In 1912 Theodore Roosevelt came out of retirement to challenge his close friend and handpicked successor, William Howard Taft, for the Republican Party nomination. Roosevelt was so confident he would win the nomination that he proposed presidential primaries in each state to let "the people rule." And Roosevelt prevailed in nine out of thirteen state primaries. But Republican party bosses proved too powerful and denied Roosevelt the nomination. A third party, the Bull Moose Party was Roosevelt's answer to this new situation. And in the end, Roosevelt's solution split the Republican party and Democrat Woodrow Wilson became president in 1912.
