A readable copy. 203 pages.., New Directions, 1975, 2.5, New York: Da Capo Press, 1990 xi, 298 pages, [40] leaves of plates, illustrations; 21 cm. First published, 1902. Tight, clean copy. "The advent of war with Spain was a glorious opportunity for forceful leadership not to be missed by the hotheaded young Theodore Roosevelt. He resigned his post as assistant-secretary of the Navy in April, 1898, and, despite the strong disapproval of family and friends, he joined the Army as Lt. Colonel of a regiment to be raised in the territories of Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma. He ordered a uniform from Brooks Brothers, a dozen pairs of steel spectacles, "a couple of good, stout, quiet horses," and he was off to train his volunteers at San Antonio. The Rough Riders were a most unusual regiment. Informal, independent, made up of ex-cowboys, Western bad men, and Ivy League graduates, Roosevelts troops made a poor impression on Army regulars but provided excellent copy for the nations newspapers. On July 22, 1898, this motley cavalry regiment waded ashore in Cuba, and before the summer was over the Rough Riders and their impatient, dynamic leader were familiar to virtually every household in the nation. Roosevelt was being considered for nomination to the governorship of New York, and his march to the Presidency had begun. From the time he left Washington to join his regiment for training in Texas to their triumphant return from Cuba, Roosevelt kept daily records of his thoughts and experiences. These jottings formed the basis of this book, by far the best firsthand story of the Spanish-American War. Published in 1899 to instant acclaim, The Rough Riders is written with Roosevelts typical gusto. His writing is remarkable for his sure sense of personality and the spontaneity and directness of his prose. Reading the book, it is impossible not to sense the exhilaration of battle, or the moral purpose behind it all. The Rough Riders remains one of the great war stories of our time, and offers an invaluable look at one of the most colorful presidents of the United States." - Publisher.. Paperback.

Cover design by Donald E. Munson. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Julian Campos, having served Castro’s Cuba as a soldier and sugarcane cutter, is presently a university student awaiting permission to emigrate. Five years earlier his parents were stopped at the airport and told that they could not take their son with them to America. They proceeded to get on the plane, leaving Julian in the care of his grandmother. Now the young man has finally been notified that he, too, may leave, but only if he first agrees to an additional six months of ‘voluntary’ work for the state’s Ten-Million-Ton Sugarcane Program. Julian does his time—hard labor in the fields while living in barracks behind barbed wire fences. The news of his grandmother’s death is withheld from him for weeks, and he is locked up when he protests. Finally, he is informed that he is being sent back to the army. Fed up, Julian joins a clandestine group planning to take a boat to Florida under cover of night. In direct and uncluttered prose, Suarez’s ( Latin Jazz ) powerful novel about one individual’s response to the abuses and arbitrariness of totalitarianism shows us how ordinary people can be driven to take extraordinary risks. – PUBLSIHERS WEEKLY. inventory #13180 ISBN: 0345368592., 0, New York: A New Directions Book.
