The Bully Pulpit by Doris Kearns Goodwin. This woman, really knows how to make history come alive.

The story of the relationship between Teddy Roosevelt and William Howard Taft and the rise of journalism in the early 20th century. I am always amazed at someone who can write such a long book on history, and keep you captivated, as she weaves her characters well.

Doris, aslo won the Pulitzer Prize, for Team Of Rivals - The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln. Much different from the movie version.

Highly recommend Doris Kearns Goodwin as she has written several historical books and Jean Edward Smith, (male), who wrote the definitive biography of FDR, Grant and Eisenhower - The War Years. Both writers do a ton of research, and all of their books are rich in details, that I find amazing.

They are pretty big books, so put your reading shoes on.
