This is the 4th biography I have read on WHT. This is a fact-based solid review of his Presidency. It has a little analysis and opinion but is primarily centered on the issues and Taft policy domestically and internationally.
As someone with a great deal of knowledge about the period, this book is very fair. It is thorough and has information I hadn’t seen before.
There is very little about Taft’s life before the White House. Virtually nothing about his politically astute and accomplished father Alphonso. Nothing about his work in the Philippines or Cuba. And nothing about his nomination to SCOTUS Chief after his one term.
This book is laser focused on his Presidency. It’s an easy read.
I’d strongly encourage it as a second read on WHT after reading Henry Pringle’s outstanding 2 volume Taft book.
As Joe Friday said... just the facts ma’am.
