In
this
classic
of
American
biography,
based
upon
thousands
of
original
documents,
many
never
previously
published,
the
prize-winning
historian
Geoffrey
C.
Ward
tells
the
dramatic
story
of
Franklin
Roosevelt’s
unlikely
rise
from
cloistered
youth
to
the
brink
of
the
presidency
with
a
richness
of
detail
and
vivid
sense
of
time,
place,
and
personality
usually
found
only
in
fiction.In
these
pages,
FDR
comes
alive
as
a
fond
but
absent
father
and
an
often
unfeeling
husband--the
story
of
Eleanor
Roosevelt’s
struggle
to
build
a
life
independent
of
him
is
chronicled
in
full–as
well
as
a
charming
but
pampered
patrician
trying
to
find
his
way
in
the
sweaty
world
of
everyday
politics
and
all-too
willing
willing
to
abandon
allies
and
jettison
principle
if
he
thinks
it
will
help
him
move
up
the
political
ladder.
But
somehow
he
also
finds
within
himself
the
courage
and
resourcefulness
to
come
back
from
a
paralysis
that
would
have
crushed
a
less
resilient
man
and
then
go
on
to
meet
and
master
the
two
gravest
crises
of
his time.
