This was a remarkably readable account of the 20th century's greatest president. Lord knows FDR wasn't perfect, and Smith doesn't shy away from discussing those points, which include FDR's court packing plan, the effort to squeeze out conservatives in elections, backing away from government... more info

from Times Books
Price: $14.74

Customer Review:
The New Deal, Social Security, World War II. FDR was the greatest president of the 20th century. He was a polio victim with braces on his legs. Perhaps America needed such a leader to get it through the Depression and the war with Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. We have seen the video of FDR... more info

from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
This book is unfortunately a specimen of what Joan Didion called (when describing Bob Woodward's books) "political pornography." Schlesinger is in love with the New Deal -- which, for all I know, he has every right to be -- and wants us to be in love with it too. So he deploys the standard... more info

What can you say? It's a thoroughly researched, skillfully wound tale of a man who has no statesman-like comparison in modern American history. I'm an 'Eisenhower Republican' - though, I fear we're a dying breed - however, remark at the leadership... more info
