A Pulitzer Prizeâwinning historianâs dramatic biography of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, US president during the Depression and WWII. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the longest serving president in US history, reshaping the country during the crises of the Great Depression and World War II. James MacGregor Burnsâs magisterial two-volume biography tells the complete life story of the fascinating political figure who instituted the New Deal. Â Roosevelt: The Lion and the Fox (1882â1940): Before his ascension to the presidency, FDR laid the groundwork for his unprecedented run with decades of canny political maneuvering and steady consolidation of power. Hailed by the New York Times as âa sensitive, shrewd, and challenging bookâ and by Newsweek as âa case study unmatched in American political writings,â The Lion and the Fox details Rooseveltâs youth and education, his rise to national prominence, all the way through his first two terms as president. Â Roosevelt: The Soldier of Freedom (1940â1945): The Pulitzer Prize and National Book Awardâwinning history of FDRâs final years examines the presidentâs skillful wartime leadership as well as his vision for postwar peace. Acclaimed 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. |
