Jeffrey Rosen is the author of several books, including Louis D. Brandeis: American Prophet. He is the president and CEO of the National Constitution Center, a law professor at George Washington University, and a contributing editor for The Atlantic. He was previously the legal affairs editor of The New Republic and a staff writer for The New Yorker.
"Rosen aptly observes that by some measures -- trusts prosecuted,
acreage protected, tariffs reduced -- Taft was more progressive
than Roosevelt. Yet his style could hardly have been less
Rooseveltian. Rosen, a law professor and a biographer of Louis
Brandeis, makes a compelling argument for Taft's importance as a
conservator of the Constitution on the subject of presidential
powers."--The Washington Post "Rosen's writing is clear and his
research shines. This well-written and well-told story is in some
ways more relevant today than when it happened. Do not miss this
one."--San Francisco Book Review
"This slim, well-researched and well-written biography
substantially beefs up Taft's reputation."--Forbes
