Synopsis

Napolitano’s shocking historical account of how a Republican and a Democratic president oversaw the greatest shift in power in American history, from a land built on the belief that authority should be left to the individuals and the states to a bloated, far-reaching federal bureaucracy, continuing to grow and consume power each day.“Either the Constitution means what it says, or it doesn’t.”America’s founding fathers saw freedom as a part of our nature to be protected—not to be usurped by the federal government—and so enshrined separation of powers and guarantees of freedom in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. But a little over a hundred years after America’s founding, those God-given rights were laid siege by two presidents caring more about the advancement of progressive, redistributionist ideology than the principles on which America was founded.Theodore and Woodrow is Judge Andrew P. Napolitano’s shocking historical account of how a Republican and a Democratic president oversaw the greatest shift in power in American history, from a land built on the belief that authority should be left to the individuals and the states to a bloated, far-reaching federal bureaucracy, continuing to grow and consume power each day.With lessons rooted in history, Judge Napolitano shows the intellectually arrogant, anti-personal freedom, even racist progressive philosophy driving these men to poison the American system of government.And Americans still pay for their legacy—in the federal income, in state-prescribed compulsory education, in the Federal Reserve, in perpetual wars, and in the constant encroachment of a government that coddles special interests and discourages true competition in the marketplace.With his attention to detail, deep constitutional knowledge, and unwavering adherence to truth telling, Judge Napolitano moves through the history of these men and their times in office to show how American values and the Constitution were sadly set aside, leaving personal freedom as a shadow of its former self, in the grip of an insidious, Nanny state, progressive ideology.

Goodreads review by Wilson on November 27, 2013

The best way to describe the book is "wow!" How many times have you read a book and wanted your family, friends, and peers to read it? This is one of those books. From childhood throughout college, we have been taught to see T.R. as the consummate "Man's man," a man of the outdoors, a conservationis......more

Goodreads review by Ray on May 21, 2013

Andrew Napolitano's main point(s) in "Theodore and Woodrow" seemed to be that the bulk of today's "big Government" woes can be traced back to the progressive policies and programs implemented over 100 years ago by the likes of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. I thought that was an interesting......more

Goodreads review by Diane on January 01, 2014

Excellent read. The author outlines how the "Progressives", Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson, did much to destroy the constitutional freedoms and liberties our Founders intended for us to enjoy. It's clear that their successors and the elected officials have perpetuated the stifling of our libe......more

The Judge is always very easy to read, he has an ability to write in a way that keeps you moving while also making his point and often you will learn something as well. This book is no exception.

Goodreads review by Jared on February 20, 2013

As Napolitano says at the outset, this is not meant to be a definitive biography of either Theodore Roosevelt or Woodrow Wilson, but rather a case against both of them. This is a much needed volume and an excellent start for those who are seeking to understand how radically transformative the Progre......more
