ROOSEVELT, Theodore [Jr.]. COLONIAL POLICIES OF THE UNITED STATES.
Garden  City:  Doubleday,  Doran 1937. First  Edition.  INSCRIBED  and
SIGNED  on  the front free endpaper by the author, son of  the  former
president:   "To  John  Wheeler-Bennett/a   great  historian/from  his
friend/a   mere   colonial/administrator/Theodore  Roosevelt/Dec.'37."
Wheeler-Bennett,  historian  and authority on  international  affairs,
especially  those  of  Germany between the wars,  was  knighted  after
writing  the  official biography of King George VI. Roosevelt,  though
never  achieving the fame of his father, was a military hero.  Despite
a  heart condition and arthritis that forced him to use a cane, he was
the  only  American  General  to land on the beaches  of  Normandy  on
D-Day.  He  died of a heart attack a month later and is buried at  the
American  cemetery  in Normandy next to his brother, Quentin. For  his
leadership  in the assault on Utah Beach, Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.  was
awarded  the  Congressional Medal of Honor. General George  S.  Patton
said  that  Roosevelt  was "the bravest soldier I ever knew."  He  was
portrayed  by Henry Fonda in the epic film of the invasion THE LONGEST
DAY.  Near  Fine,  lacking the dustwrapper, with a  fine  inscription.
