Review: Fascinating insight into a major US President - I did not think l would like this book as l had little interest in the man or the era. But l was at once absorbed into this fascinating story of a man who rode his luck and connections. But he was also a great politician, a smart operator on many levels and a great reader of others. His relationship with Churchill is particularly well drawn and gives a real insight into the power-broking which went on around these great men and Stalin. If l have a criticism it is that it all seems a bit rushed at the end, as if his decline and death were almost an afterthought. No do you get much, if any, of what went on with Truman - maybe the answer is, as with many VPs, not much! Well written, well paced and well researched l would recommend anyone, even those with passing interest to dip into this life of the only man to be elected President three times. Review: Wonderful overview of a great American's life - This is a long book, but it is a surprisingly easy read and full of interesting detail about the life of FD Roosevelt. I had been interested in this key US president both because of his often forgotten (in the UK) contribution to the war effort and the remarkable impact of the 'New Deal' in 1930s America that turned the country around following the depression. It is also a good way to get into the complexity of US politics. For anyone interested in this period of US history, this is a great read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 185,146 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 582 in Political Leader Biographies 744 in World War II Biographies (Books) 1,489 in Social & Urban History Biographies | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,113) | | Dimensions | 15.49 x 4.83 x 23.37 cm | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0812970497 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0812970494 | | Item weight | 953 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 880 pages | | Publication date | 13 May 2008 | | Publisher | Random House Trade | ## Images ![FDR - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81dxeHCD3uL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fascinating insight into a major US President *by R***P on 22 May 2015* I did not think l would like this book as l had little interest in the man or the era.

I had been interested in this key US president both because of his often forgotten (in the UK) contribution to the war effort and the remarkable impact of the 'New Deal' in 1930s America that turned the country around following the depression. It is also a good way to get into the complexity of US politics. For anyone interested in this period of US history, this is a great read. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting *by J***B on 8 March 2013* There was a load of hoo-hah when Obama got elected due to the colour of his skin. They are ahead of us Brits on that one. Same for disability. President Roosevelt got himself elected over 80 years ago from a wheelchair, and hardly anybody noticed. Those were the days. Of course they didn't have 24 hour 'news' following everybody everywhere up to and including bathroom back then, but still the lack of vast libraries of photos showing a man in a wheelchair must be a staggering achievement. I suppose coming from a privileged background might have helped, as did having another president in the family (albeit a looney one), but its hard to imagine it being repeated even now. So have we really advanced that much? The book ends a bit abruptly. Biographies always have sad endings, ie the subject dies. But this chap died on 12 April 1945, less than a month before his nemesis Hitler died and the war ended. So a bit of continuity would not have been amiss. But a good read for all that. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/62283317-fdr](https://www.desertcart.in/products/62283317-fdr) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
