This is a book review of John Thomson's book "Great Power Rising: Theodore Roosevelt and the Politics of U.S. Foreign Policy." The article's author contends that Thompson shows that throughout his presidency, Roosevelt worked assiduously to overcome the restraints of domestic politics on his foreign policies by using his ‘bully pulpit’ and cultivating the press to shape public opinion.
