| 520 | |a "This is a book about five generations of the Taft family, America's longest-lived political dynasty but one that, unlike four generations of Adamses, three of Rockefellers and Kennedys, and two each of Oyster Bay and Hyde Park Roosevelts, has not captured the public's imagination. Yet the impact of the Tafts on the present shape of American society may well be greater than that of any of the other political families. The Tafts' impact is unappreciated because, thanks to their unsympathetic biographers, William Howard Taft is thought of as a standpatter and fat plutocrat and his son Robert A. Taft as a blind isolationist and opponent of domestic reform. This long-overdue reconsideration of the Tafts shows them to be far-sighted, fair-minded, and in many ways good guides in dealing with today's concerns." -- inside front jacket flap. | ||
