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. (#010084)        $250.00
