ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Bully Pulpit: Theodore Roosevelt, William Howard Taft, and the Golden Age of Journalism by Doris Kearns Goodwin delves into the intertwined lives and presidencies of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft. The book explores their profound early friendship and political alliance, highlighting Roosevelt's innovative use of the presidency as a platform to shape public opinion, the "bully pulpit." It also examines the vibrant and influential world of progressive journalism, featuring figures like Ida Tarbell and S.S. McClure, and its impact on the era's reform movements. As Taft succeeds Roosevelt in the White House, the narrative traces the growing divergence in their leadership styles and the increasing strain that develops on their once close bond.
