Out of the Tub

OUT OF THE TUB, by Carol Josel, delves into the truths and accomplishments of William Howard Taft, 27th president and 10^th Chief Justice of the United States. Written with humor (the book’s title refers to the myth that Taft once got stuck in a tub) and attention to detail, the biography humanizes him and his long and storied career as an attorney, teacher, judge, President and Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court—the only man in American history to serve as both.  Complete with a detailed family tree, timeline, and bibliography, the book is a must-read for history lovers as it includes information about Taft’s personal and professional relationships with some of the biggest names in politics before, during, and after the First World War.
