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

4.0

I really loved this. I found a lot to admire in Taft and Roosevelt's lives. They were both great men and I think this book illustrates the fact that you can be a great person and do a lot of good even despite the weaknesses we all have. This book instilled in me a great dislike for Nellie Taft, whose ambitions to be the wife of the President of the United States nudged him down a career path that was not his choice and that he was ill-suited for, instead of encouraging him in his goals and to use his talents and gifts.
