Becoming FDR : the personal crisis that made a president

Darman, Jonathan2022
Books
In popular memory, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the quintessential political 'natural.' Born in 1882 to a wealthy, influential family and blessed with an abundance of charm and charisma, he seemed destined for high office. Yet for all his gifts, the young Roosevelt nonetheless lacked depth, empathy, and an ability to think strategically. Those qualities, so essential to his success as president, were skills he acquired during his seven-year journey through illness and recovery. 'Becoming FDR' traces the riveting story of the struggle that forged Roosevelt's character and political ascent.
