The Bully Pulpit, by Pulitzer Prize winner Doris Kearns Goodwin, tells of the close relationship of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft and of the way that they drew on each other's strengths in their rise to the US presidency. In extensive depth, Goodwin examines how each man provided leadership in an era of activism and reform that brought the country closer to its founding ideals. Another Goodwin masterpiece!
