      Summary of The Bully Pulpit - Instaread Summaries

      Overview

      Doris Kearns Goodwin describes the life and leadership of Theodore Roosevelt in this historical work. Roosevelt emerges as a large-than-life character who takes on the financial trusts of huge corporations that are putting their rivals out of business, the unsafe and unfair working conditions of the common man, and the sales of unhealthy foods and medicines, all resulting from what he feels is too little government regulation. The lives and personalities of Theodore Roosevelt and William Taft are also contrasted: Roosevelt is described as a sickly child who grows into a hearty man while Taft is described as a robust child who, because of the stress of his political career, becomes an obese adult. Taft and Roosevelt’s wives are also compared. Edith Roosevelt, Theodore’s second wife, prefers to stay out of the spotlight as much as possible and enjoys studying literature. Unlike her sometimes aggressive and boisterous husband, she is reserved and sometimes has to hold him back. Nellie Taft, on the other hand, feels suited for political life and is a confidant who often has to prod her quiet and introspective husband to take appropriate action.

      Each wife is profoundly dedicated to her husband and steadfastly supports him throughout each success and failure. While Roosevelt is passionate about politics and reform, Taft is more interested in serving as a Supreme Court Justice and actually dislikes politics. Roosevelt uses what he calls the bully pulpit, the president’s national platform, to change the politics of the nation. Roosevelt seems to be a naturally savvy politician mainly due to his gift for understanding the mood of the country and basing his communications with the public on that mood. Taft, on the other hand, is a calm and level-headed, yet an inexperienced speaker and leader when he is appointed Secretary of War by Roosevelt. He spends years in the Philippines as Governor General trying to help the
