A brief, thorough introduction to the life and times of the most
influential and effective president in modern America, this volume
is ideal for students researching the Great Depression or World War
II. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was one of the best and most
influential presidents in U.S. history. Successfully guiding the
stricken nation through the Great Depression and World War II, FDR
also forever changed the office of the President of the United
States and the future course of American politics. The scion of a
wealthy upstate New York family, and cousin to President Theodore
Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt was beloved by ordinary Americans and
reviled by the elite as a class traitor for his New Deal policies.
Here, FDR's life from childhood to midlife struggle with crippling
polio to his death in office in 1944 is detailed, offering both
personal and public perspectives. Starting with his privileged prep
school and Harvard upbringing, readers follow this masterful
politician's development as New York senator and Assistant
Secretary of the Navy during World War I. During a brief retreat
from the public eye, Roosevelt is struck by polio and regroups
personally and professionally. Next comes his triumphant return to
national politics and his election to president in 1932. The
pivotal years during which he was elected president an
unprecedented four times during the Depression and World War II
round out the final third of the book. An annotated bibliography
and index conclude the work.
