About this audiobook
Franklin D. Roosevelt tells the extraordinary life of the only president to govern the United States for four consecutive terms, guiding the country through its two greatest crises of the twentieth century: the Great Depression and the Second World War.
From his privileged childhood on the banks of the Hudson to his death at Warm Springs in April 1945, this book portrays the complete man: the aristocrat who learned compassion through suffering, the politician who reinvented the American state with the New Deal, the commander in chief who led the coalition that defeated fascism, and also the leader who made mistakes with historical consequences that no honest biography can ignore.
A story of power, adversity, transformation, and legacy that shows why Franklin Roosevelt remains, decades after his death, the measure by which America judges all its presidents.
