Read the trilogy by Edmund Morris, a great biography.

You have to realize that some of the decisions he made were, first pro-USA, and second these were decisions inherent to the times.

The decisions I disagreed with, one which I think eventually killed him from agony, was to send his sons to a war where the USA had no reason to be in (like many other wars, of course), one where the opposing forces were too strong and the likelihood of his sons coming back alive were slim. One of them got in the Air Force and didn't even have good vision, he got killed, but his stubbornness of trying to make his sons do the patriotic thing in a stupid war cost one his life and the other was never the same when he came back.

Read the trilogy, they do talk about the action by Roosevelt "The Imperial Cruise" talks about.

All in all, Teddy did more good than bad for the country, he was a real progressive, reason why republican politicians hated him. He is by far the best president the republican party has ever had.
