Reddit reviews Alice: Alice Roosevelt Longworth, from White House Princess to Washington Power Broker

Absolutely!

For TR, I highly recommended Edmund Morris’ Three Volume bio . The first volume, The Rise of Theodore Roosevelt, won a Pulitzer and is one of my all-time favorite books.

For a general social and political history of the times, check out “The Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin.

There have been a couple of bios on Alice, but the two best that I have read were Alice by Stacey A. Cordery and Hissing Cousins
which chronicles and parallels her life and rivalry with her First Cousin, Eleanor.

For FDR, my favorite single volume bio is Traitor To His Class by HW Brands. It’s been criticized in certain Right Wing circles as “too biased”, but screw those assholes.

For a generalized overview of the Roosevelt family, check out Ken Burns’ doc, The Roosevelts: An Intimate History. It’s on Netflix.

That’s just scratching the surface, but I have found that to be the most accessible and readable stuff.
