The Wheelchair President
At the height of war, President Franklin D. Roosevelt inspired millions with stirring visions of a new and better post-war world he would never see. Set against the epic scale of World War II in 1944 and 1945, Professor David Reynolds presents an intimate biography of this great president, revealing a man who was burdened by secrets about his failing health and strained marriage. Enigmatic, secretive and with a complicated love life, America's wheelchair president was racing to shape the future before his past caught up with him.
