About the author

Noel Bertram Gerson (1913-1988) was an American author who wrote 325 books, including several best sellers, among them two screenplay novelizations penned under the pseudonym Samuel Edwards, The Naked Maja, and 55 Days at Peking.

Aside from "Samuel Edwards", which would seem to have been his dedicated by-line for tie-in work, Gerson used the following nine pseudonyms in addition to his own name: Anne Marie Burgess; Michael Burgess; Nicholas Gorham; Paul Lewis; Leon Phillips; Donald Clayton Porter; Dana Fuller Ross; Philip Vail; and Carter A. Vaughan.

Reviews

[Carolyn Parker · Rating 3 out of 5]

I don't know a lot about Theodore Roosevelt, so I certainly learned a great deal. He was a most interesting person. This style (biographical novel) makes an easy read, although it leaves a nagging thought about the truth of it all. Recommended for fans of history.
