Used. Paperback. Doris Kearns Goodwin deftly documents the domestic and diplomatic double-duty of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt as they steered a fractured nation through the tempests of World War II. This sweeping dual biography brilliantly balances the burdens of the Oval Office with the private partnerships that shaped an unprecedented era in American history. Goodwin brings remarkable depth to the Roosevelts' wartime routine, proving that history is often made as much in the parlor as it is in the war room. It is a masterclass in presidential politics and partnership that will leave you turning pages long after lights out.
