THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERA Mental Floss Book to Read in Summer 2019
“Gripping.… Theodore Roosevelt for the Defense is a must-read.” —NPRA President on Trial. A
Reputation at Stake.ABC News legal correspondent and host of LIVE PD Dan Abrams
reveals the story of Teddy Roosevelt’s last stand—an epic courtroom battle against
corruption—in this thrilling follow-up to the New York Times bestseller Lincoln’s Last Trial.
“No more dramatic courtroom scene has ever been enacted,” reported the Syracuse Herald on
May 22, 1915 as it covered “the greatest libel suit in history,” a battle fought between former
President Theodore Roosevelt and the leader of the Republican party. Roosevelt , the boisterous
and mostly beloved legendary American hero, had accused his former friend and ally, now turned
rival, William Barnes of political corruption. The furious Barnes responded by suing Roosevelt for
an enormous sum that could have financially devastated him. The spectacle of Roosevelt
defending himself in a lawsuit captured the imagination of the nation, and more than fifty
newspapers sent reporters to cover the trial. Accounts from inside and outside the courtroom
combined with excerpts from the trial transcript give us Roosevelt in his own words and serve as
the heart of Theodore Roosevelt for the Defense. This was Roosevelt’s final fight to defend his
political legacy, and perhaps regain his fading stature. He spent more than a week on the witness
stand, revealing hidden secrets of the American political system, and then endured a merciless
cross-examination. Witnesses including a young Franklin D. Roosevelt and a host of well-known
political leaders were questioned by two of the most brilliant attorneys in the country. Following the
case through court transcripts, news reports, and other primary sources, Dan Abrams and David
Fisher present a high-definition picture of the American legal system in a nation standing on the
precipice of the Great War, with its former president fighting for the ideals he held dear.
