Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

Edward Herrmann's performance as a narrator shines through in every scene. His nuanced portrayal captures the intensity of Roosevelt and Taft's political battles with precision. The pacing is deliberate yet engaging, allowing ample time for reflection on their policies and personal lives. However, some might find the early sections overly focused on minutiae that could be streamlined. Nonetheless, Goodwin’s insightful analysis and Herrmann’s stellar delivery make 'The Bully Pulpit' an invaluable addition to any history or biography collection.
