He was the nation's first environmental president, challenged the trusts, and, as the first American leader to play an important role in world affairs, began construction of a long-dreamed canal across Panama and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for almost singlehandedly bringing about a peaceful end to the Russo-Japanese War.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to following Roosevelt's political career, \u003cem\u003eTheodore Roosevelt\u003c\/em\u003e looks deeply into his personal relations to draw a three-dimensional portrait of a man who confronted life-wrenching tragedies as well as triumphs.
