An Intimate study of two extraordinary figures and their secret alliance that turn the political world upside down. In The King and the Cowboy, acclaimed historian David Fromkin reveals how two colorful figures, Theodore Roosevelt and Edward the Seventh, assume leadership of the English-speaking world at the beginning of the 20th century. As human beings, the two men could hardly have been more different. Edward, A lover of fine food, drink, beautiful women, and the pleasure seeking culture of Paris, had previously been regarded as nothing more than a playboy. Across the Atlantic, Theodore Roosevelt, the aristocrat from Manhattan and self-made cowboy, would rise above his critics to become one of the nations most beloved presidents. Together, they wrote the agenda for the North Atlantic democracies in the 20th century.
