Description

William Howard Taft (15 September 1857 - 8 March 1930) was the 27th President of the United States and later the 10th Chief Justice of the United States.

He is the only person to have served in both offices.

Riding a wave of popular support of President (and fellow Republican) Theodore Roosevelt, Taft won an easy victory in his 1908 bid for the presidency.

In his first and only term, President Taft's domestic agenda emphasised trust-busting, civil service reform, strengthening the Interstate Commerce Commission, improving the performance of the postal service, and passage of the Sixteenth Amendment.

This book will take you through the voyage of Taft's Presidency and life in view of that prestigious appointment.
