The Bully Pulpit

Theodore Roosevelt and the Golden Age of Journalism

Doris Kearns Goodwin

Explore the dynamic history of the Progressive era through the intense friendship of Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft in The Bully Pulpit. This tale is filled with drama, intrigue, and a brutal fight for the presidential nomination that divided their wives, children, and closest friends. Discover the impact of the muckraking press, which helped Roosevelt push the government to shed its laissez-faire attitude towards corrupt politicians and exploitive corporations. Goodwin's narrative is based on primary materials, including over 400 letters between Roosevelt and Taft. This major work of history demonstrates Goodwin's ability to combine scholarly rigor with accessibility.
