William Howard Taft, the 27th President of the United States, honed his considerable administrative skills through years of dedicated public service, demonstrating integrity and fortitude in every position he held; he did not, however, learn his trade by engaging in political shootouts or by fighting in the trenches of public scrutiny in an effort to win narrow elections or to secure popularity. Here is the first full-length study of Taft's Presidency and an in-depth look into the mind of one of the century's most underrated political architects. A remarkable book, in full leather, and very collectible. Note: We are a well-established, well-respected, ethical book dealer in business since 1991.
