An extraordinarily vivid and personal portrait of America's
greatest political family and its enormous impact on our nation-the
tie-in volume to the PBS documentary to air in the fall of 2014.
This handsome, engaging, revelatory book is an "intimate" history
of three extraordinary individuals from the same extraordinary
family-Theodore, Eleanor, and Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Geoffrey
C. Ward, distilling more than thirty years of thinking and writing
about the Roosevelts, and the acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns help us
understand for the first time that, despite the fierce partisanship
of their eras and ours, the Roosevelts were far more united than
divided. All the history the Roosevelts made is here, but this is
primarily a book about human beings, each of whom somehow overcame
obstacles that would have undone less forceful personalities, and
all of whom wrestled in their lives with issues still familiar to
the rest of us-anger and the need for forgiveness, courage and
cowardice, confidence and self-doubt, loyalty to family and the
need to be oneself. This is the story of the Roosevelts-no other
American family ever touched so many lives.
