Synopsis

This portrait seeks to capture all sides of Franklin Delano Roosevelt: the brilliance, charm and remarkable talents of both the political and private personality; the man flawed and the man consummately great. His life is traced from boyhood amid New York's privileged aristocrats, through his courtship of Eleanor, and the clandestine love affair which brought the near-collapse of his marriage. Described is the drama of the crippling polio that transformed him into a mature statesman, the excitement of the New Deal, and his controversial leadership during world War II. This comprehensive biography brings FDR to life for Americans who never knew him and for all those who still remember the Roosevelt years.
