In this new biographical study of the only American ever to have
been both President and Chief Justice of the United States,
Jonathan Lurie reassesses William Howard Taft's multiple careers,
which culminated in Taft's election to the presidency in 1908 as
the chosen successor to Theodore Roosevelt. By 1912, however, the
relationship between Taft and Roosevelt had ruptured. Lurie
reexamines the Taft-Roosevelt friendship and concludes that it
rested on flimsy ground. He also places Taft in a progressive
context, taking Taft's own self-description as a believer in
progressive conservatism as the starting point. At the end of his
biography, Lurie concludes that this label is accurate when applied
to Taft."
