George Sylvester Viereck

Roosevelt: a Study in Ambivalence George Sylvester Viereck

It will not be reviewed in the American press. It will not even be mentioned. My psychoanalytic interpretation of Colonel Roosevelt contains much that is startling. It adds to the portrait of Theodore Roosevelt a line here and there that cannot be erased by the relentless years, norby their relenting historians. There is no question that I understand Theodore Roosevelt. On that point I have Mr. Roosevelt sown testimony. Nor is there any doubt that I can wield a pen. The very men who would place a Maxim silencer on my poor efforts bear witness to that fact, unless their own literary verdicts were indeed scraps of paper. Nevertheless, in the present instance, the voice of the reviewer will be hushed. There may be, now and then, a quotation from one of the Colonel sletters to me. There may be, here and there, a slur. But no honest criticism.
