The fifth book in the Making of America series, Franklin D.
Roosevelt examines the life of America’s 32nd president: his
birth into one of America’s elite families, his domineering
mother, his marriage to Eleanor Roosevelt, his struggle with polio,
and his political career. A Democrat, Roosevelt (1882–1945) won a
record four presidential elections and is the longest-serving US
president. During his time in office, he led the country through
the Great Depression and World War II, and helped to redefine the
role of the US government with the New Deal. Scholars often rate
him as one of the three greatest presidents, along with George
Washington and Abraham Lincoln. The book includes selections from
FDR’s writings in addition to endnotes, a bibliography, and an
index.
