Roosevelt

Alexander Kennedy

Franklin D. Roosevelt was the pivot on which the twentieth century turned. No president since George Washington has done more to change the federal government, and no president has ever matched his international impact. His legacy continues to shape American politics, the world economy, and the very existence of many nations, both for better and for worse.

This new biography follows Roosevelt from a spoiled child to striving politician, from the depths of the Great Depression to the victories of World War II. It explores the famous man in all his contradictions: a caring husband who formed his deepest relationships with women not his wife; a proponent of big government who spent most of his presidency fighting for balanced budgets; a part-time isolationist who later founded the United Nations. The controversies of Roosevelt's day continue to define American politics, and we cannot hope to understand them without first understanding Roosevelt himself.

"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
