Becoming FDR: The Personal Crisis That Made a President

byJonathan Darman

" Born in 1882 to a wealthy, influential family and blessed with an abundance of charm and charisma, he seemed destined for high office. Using biographical detail, personal testimony, and historical context, Becoming FDR moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Becoming FDR within biography & autobiography and history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the personal crisis that made a president continues to shape the present.
