Taft is presented in this book as the chief interpreter of President McKinley's "benevolent assimilation" program, as a legislator, chief executive, trouble shooter, lobbyist, diplomat, judge, and a propagandist.

Towards the end, the book argues that Taft is a major character in Philippine history because he orchestrated the establishment of American colonial institution in the Philippines, an episode in history that has great effect on the life of Filipinos until the present time.
