The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism by Doris Kearns Goodwin
5.0
Once again, Goodwin has written a masterpiece, and it was well worth the long time it took me to get through this audiobook. Started listening to this two-and-a-half years ago, but my head wasn't in the right place for it. Then, a few months ago, I decided it was time to give it another try: Doris Kearns Goodwin's writing is just too good to give up on. And, after restarting the book, I wasn't disappointed.
The topic itself is engaging, and Goodwin digs into the historical material with care and enthusiasm. She also weaves the facts into a compelling and thoroughly enjoyable narrative. There are few serious scholars with Goodwin's skill at storytelling. Moreover, the narration was very well done. Clean and crisp, consistent without being boring. Highly recommend both this book and this audiobook.
