More DescriptionIn the Team of Rivals, Doris Kearns Goodwin showed how Abraham Lincoln saved America by appointing his fiercest rivals to key cabinet positions. Now she turns to the birth of America's Progressive Era - that heady time at the turn of the twentieth century when the US was coming unseamed and reform was in the air. This is the story of a pioneering President, a powerful firendship, and the first ever band of intrepid investigative reporters. The Bully Pulpit blends scholarly rigour with spellbinding narrative. Like Doris Kearns Goodwin's chronicle of the Civil War, it is destined to become a classic. Praise for Team of Rivals 'A wonderful book . . . a remarkable study in leadership.' Barack Obama 'The most uplifting book that I have read in the last two decades. Sensational.' Jon Snow 'I have not enjoyed a history book as much for years.' Robert Harris 'A fabulously engrossing, exciting narrative in the grand old style . . . overflowing with colour and character.' Dominic Sandbrook 'A brilliant book . . . I couldn't get enough of it.'
