I was surprised - and very happy - to see "River of Doubt" mentioned here. That is indeed a very good book, and kicked off a fascination for me with TR in general. The author, Candice Millard, has two other books which I also enthusiastically recommend: "Hero of the Empire", about Churchill's escape from a POW camp during the Boer War, and "Destiny of the Republic" about the assassination of President Garfield.
