This group of men, which became known as the Rough Riders, trained for four weeks in the Texas desert and then set sail for Cuba. Over the course of the summer, Roosevelt's Rough Riders fought valiantly, and sometimes recklessly, in the Cuban foothills, incurring casualties at a far greater rate than the Spanish.<br><br>Roosevelt kept a detailed diary from the time he left Washington until his triumphant return from Cuba later that year. <b>The Rough Riders</b> was published to instant acclaim in 1899. Robust in its style and mesmerizing in its account of battle, it is exhilarating, illuminating, and utterly essential reading for every armchair historian and at-home general. <br><br>The books in the Modern Library War series have been chosen by series editor Caleb Carr according to the significance of their subject matter, their contribution to the field of military history, and their literary merit. 743771 1968 The Rough Riders (Modern Library War) total:71|5:10|4:32|3:23|2:5|1:1| 71 258 194 10 286271 0375754768 9780375754760 52 8 3.63 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173417245m/286271.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/286271.The_Rough_Riders 3 0 false Sun Nov 29 19:49:34 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 19:49:47 -0800 2009 more...]]> 286271 0375754768 9780375754760 52 8 3.63 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173417245m/286271.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/286271.The_Rough_Riders 3 0 false Thu Mar 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 10 18:08:48 -0700 2009 Thu Mar 19 17:11:38 -0700 2009 more...]]> 286271 0375754768 9780375754760 52 8 3.63 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173417245m/286271.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/286271.The_Rough_Riders 3 0 false Tue Nov 11 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Sat Oct 18 20:53:18 -0700 2008 Wed Nov 12 04:08:59 -0800 2008
