In a ranking of chief executives, no more than three of his predecessors could truly be placed in contention with his standing, and of his successors, there are so far none. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn acute, stylish prose, Roy Jenkins tackles all of the nuances and intricacies of FDR's character. He was a skilled politician with astounding flexibility; he oversaw an incomparable mobilization of American industrial and military effort; and, all the while, he aroused great loyalty and dazzled those around him with his personal charm. Despite several setbacks and one apparent catastrophe, his life was buoyed by the influence of Eleanor, who was not only a wife but an adviser and one of the twentieth century's greatest political reformers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNearly complete before Jenkins's death in January 2003, this volume was finished by historian Richard Neustadt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/04\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805069594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.80w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal Prepub Alert\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2003 pg. 59\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/15\/2003 pg. 1164\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/29\/2003 pg. 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2003 pg. 384\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/02\/2003 pg. 14\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/15\/2003 pg. 76\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBookPage\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2004 pg. 12\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2004 pg. 177\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2003\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Roy Jenkins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643903111324,"sku":"9780805069594","price":29.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_7c6e4063-7aeb-4b57-a1cb-a6c874ae94a4.jpg?v=1603857500","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/franklin-delano-roosevelt-9780805069594","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
