Franklin D. Roosevelt:

A Rendezvous with Destiny
Front Cover
6 Reviews
Little, Brown, Nov 29, 2009 - Biography & Autobiography
Freidel (history emeritus, Harvard U., U. of Washington), whose four- volume biography of the young FDR concluded with the launching of the New Deal, now offers a one-volume complete biography. Although he details Roosevelt's life before his presidency, the focus is on the Depression and wartime periods. This will probably become the standard one-volume biography. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
