A sensitive, touching, ruthlessly honest play-by-play account of Roosevelt's final months battling for his health and whether to stand for a fourth term, winning the election and the war against Hitler and Japan, setting up the United Nations while constantly fencing with Stalin and his very real threat to world peace. With the recent election in mind, this book offers deep insights into the public and private life of an exceptional man whose decisions still influence our lives.
