Review
"Definitive for our time." --The Boston Globe
"An incomparable study . . . immensely informative about Roosevelt's meteoric public career but also refreshingly honest about a private life that was both spacious and constricted."--The New York Times Book Review"Ward's sensitive biography avoids easy judgments . . . With an empathy heightened by a shared physical disability, Ward depicts, in extraordinary and moving detail, the ways a lifetime battle against polio affected Roosevelt . . . a beautiful story, beautifully told."--Los Angeles Times
"Every American knows the story in its outline, but this remarkable book tells it with fresh materials, fresh insights and fresh power--a splendid and moving achievement."--Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. "A brilliant portrait of 'the great man' in the making."--David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of John Adams
