Coles African and European Addresses: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

This collection captures Theodore Roosevelt at the height of his 1910 African and European tour, when his speeches made him seem less like a former president than a force of international public life. From Egypt and the Sudan to France, Norway, Germany, England, Cambridge, and Oxford, he speaks with blunt conviction about empire, civic duty, order, peace, and the obligations of powerful nations. His foreword explains why he accepted the invitations and how he hoped his remarks would aid colonial officials, missionaries, reformers, and public-minded citizens. An introduction and related passages present Roosevelt as an orator whose power lay not in polish but in directness, moral energy, and memorable truth. His Sorbonne address is shown as having stirred French opinion, while critics who dismissed it as commonplace are answered by the claim that enduring principles often sound simple. The volume also records the ceremonial grandeur of his receptions abroad, culminating in Oxford's honorary degree and Romanes Lecture invitation. Together, these speeches portray Roosevelt as a pragmatic statesman arguing that peace comes through responsibility, restraint, and steady progress rather than wishful idealism. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
