Fascinating selection of topics. Well written and very well researched. I've read several books about TR but this one brings him to life better than most in telling the story of the friendship between Taft and TR. The story is full of tragedy and what might-have-beens as well. Taft comes across as a good president on the right side of history and wildly underrated, mostly due to being overshadowed by TR. Completely satisfying.
