Product Description

William Howard Taft (1857-1930) was an American politician, the twenty-seventh President of the United States, the tenth Chief Justice of the United States, a leader of the progressive conservative wing of the Republican Party in the early 20th century, a pioneer in international arbitration and staunch advocate of world peace verging on pacifism, and scion of the leading political family in Ohio. Taft served as the Solicitor General of the United States, a federal judge, Governor-General of the Philippines, and Secretary of War before being nominated for President in the 1908 Republican National Convention with the backing of his predecessor and close friend Theodore Roosevelt. Amongst his works are The South and the National Government (1908), Popular Government (1913), The United States and Peace (1914), Ethics in Service (1915) and Our Chief Magistrate and his Powers (1916).
