The Bully Pulpit
by Doris Kearns Goodwin Author
An excellent narrative biography of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft and how the "golden age of journalism" played a big role in their lifetimes and political careers. One parent advisory: an unfortunate one-sentence innuendo is included from Mark Twain in chapter 16.
