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

5.0

Some take stimulants to keep going, I read biographies of TR, Churchill, Hamilton, and the like. I might have found them obnoxious in real life, but boy they sure spur me into activity! Who else can I add to this list of stimulants?

I also liked Taft, who now seems underappreciated. Their tumultuous friendship reminded me of that between Adams and Jefferson. What are other examples of rollercoaster friendships between public figures?
