About this title

Review:

"It's the photo essay at its best." Booklist, ALA, Starred Review

Synopsis:

During his 12 years in office as President of the United States, Roosevelt faced two national crises. His economic and social programmes brought the American people through the Great Depression and then, as Commander-in-Chief, he guided the nation to victory in World War II. It was easy to forget that he was confined to a wheelchair, crippled by polio. Roosevelt was controversial in his own time and his views are still the subject of debate. This biography combines the results of the author's research with an extensive collection of photographs. Russell Freedman's many other books include an illustrated biography of Abraham Lincoln.
