The âengrossingâ Pulitzer Prize and National Book Awardâwinning history of FDRâs final years (Barbara Tuchman). Â The second entry in James Macgregor Burnsâs definitive two-volume biography of Franklin Delano Roosevelt begins with the presidentâs precedent-breaking third term election in 1940, just as Americans were beginning to face the likelihood of war. Here, Burns examines Rooseveltâs skillful wartime leadership as well as his vision for post-war peace. Hailed by William Shirer as âthe definitive book on Roosevelt in the war years,â and by bestselling author Barbara Tuchman as âengrossing, informative, endlessly readable,â The Soldier of Freedom is a moving profile of a leader gifted with rare political talent in an era of extraordinary challenges, sacrifices, heroism, and hardship.
