A review by schneiderc89
The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism by Doris Kearns Goodwin

5.0

Doris Kearns Goodwin is an incredible author. She somehow gets the reader to become personally connected to the characters. By the end of this book you feel like you know Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. You celebrate their victories and achievements, and you weep through their sorrows. There’s so much I learned about their friendship, their ability to make progress happen and how essential True Journalism was for the progressive era. Without this team, the progressive era doesn’t earn that title and the lives of millions of Americans are affected.

I highly recommend this book. Yes, I agree with the majority of reviews that this is a LONG book but if you take your time and soak it all in, by the time it ends you’ll still want to know more.
