    Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882 - 1945)
    Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the only President who was elected to the office four times. He led the United States through two of the greatest crises of the 20th century - the Great Depression and World War II. He was born on 30 January 1882 at the family estate in the Hudson River Valley of New York state. Roosevelt attended a strict boarding school and Harvard but was an unexceptional student. In 1905 he married Eleanor Roosevelt, niece of president Theodore Roosevelt whose example Franklin had long admired. Five years later he was elected to the New York Senate, where he quickly came to national attention as a rising Democratic politician. Roosevelt loved the sea and naval tradition. Working for the navy during World War I, he achieved a reputation as a capable young administrator. In August 1921, he suddenly fell ill with polio. The attack was severe and left him unable to walk without braces or a cane. In the years that followed, he worked doggedly to regain the use of his legs and to remain a national political figure. He was helped by his wife who acted as his substitute at political meetings. In 1928, Roosevelt was elected Governor for New York and four years later became the Democratic nominee for president. Winning by a landslide, he ushered in a New Deal programme of economic reforms to try to alleviate the Great Depression. 'The only thing we have to fear is fear itself', he told the nation in his inaugural address. The economic crisis lessened slightly and Roosevelt won a second term in 1936 backed by farmers, labourers and the poor.

    Franklin D. Roosevelt
    32nd President of the United States
    Franklin D. Roosevelt was born in Hyde Park, New York on January 30, 1882, the son of James Roosevelt and Sara Delano Roosevelt. His parents and private tutors provided him with almost all his formative education. He attended Groton (1896-1900), a prestigious preparatory school in Massachusetts, and received a BA degree in history from Harvard in only three years (1900-03). Roosevelt next studied law at New York's Columbia University. When he passed the bar examination in 1907, he left school without taking a degree. For the next three years he practiced law with a prominent New York City law firm. He entered politics in 1910 and was elected to the New York State Senate as a Democrat from his traditionally Republican home district. In the meantime, in 1905, he had married a distant cousin, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt, who was the niece of President Theodore Roosevelt. The couple had six children, five of whom survived infancy: Anna (1906), James (1907), Elliott (1910), Franklin, Jr. (1914) and John (1916). Roosevelt was reelected to the State Senate in 1912, and supported Woodrow Wilson's candidacy at the Democratic National Convention. As a reward for his support, Wilson appointed him Assistant Secretary of the Navy in 1913, a position he held until 1920. He was an energetic and efficient administrator, specializing in the business side of naval administration. This experience prepared him for his future role as Commander-in-Chief during World War II. Roosevelt's popularity and success in naval affairs resulted in his being nominated for vice-president by the Democratic Party in 1920 on a ticket headed by James M. Cox of Ohio. However, popular sentiment against Wilson's plan for US participation in the League of Nations propelled Republican Warren Harding into the presidency, and Roosevelt returned to private life.

    Hyde Pak (N. York) 30-1-1882 - Warm Springs (Georgia) 12-4-1945
    Nacido en Hyde Park, estado de Nueva York, el 30 de enero de 1882, era primo lejano del también presidente de los Estados Unidos Theodore Roosevelt . Miembro de una familia acomodada, su padre era administrador de varias sociedades y tenía diversas propiedades, mientras que la familia de su madre poseía una empresa naviera y varias minas. Educado en un ambiente elitista, cursó sus primeros estudios en Grotton, cursando después Derecho en la exclusiva Harvard. No destacaba como alumno, estando más interesado en los negocios familiares y su gran afición, los caballos. Más tarde, obtuvo el título de abogado en Columbia y, en 1905, casó con Anna Eleonor , prima lejana, sobrina del presidente Roosevelt. En 1910 decidió entrar en política, aceptando una oferta del Partido Demócrata para presentarse a los comicios al Senado como candidato por Nueva York. Elegido a los veintiocho años, su meteórica carrera, basada fundamentalmente en su simpatía y carisma, le llevó a ocupar el cargo de secretario adjunto de Marina por el recién elegido presidente Woodrow Wilson . Destacado en el ejercicio de su cargo, Roosevelt supo ganar el respeto y la fidelidad de quienes trataron con él, de tal forma que, a la retirada de Wilson de la vida política, le aconsejaron que se postulara como candidato demócrata a la vicepresidencia. Hecho esto, las elecciones fueron ganadas por los republicanos, pero Roosevelt perseveró en su intento de darse a conocer entre los votantes, lo que un futuro no muy lejano acabará por rendirle los frutos deseados. En agosto de 1921, sin embargo, sufre un ataque de poliomielitis que casi acaba con su vida, paralizará del todo sus piernas durante dos años y le dejará postrado en una silla de ruedas durante el resto de su vida. A pesar de ello, da muestras de una férrea voluntad y afán de superación al reanudar en cuanto pudo su actividad política, interviniendo en 1924 en una asamblea de su partido. En 1928 gana las elecciones para el gobierno de Nueva York. Instalados los Estados Unidos en plena

    "Franklin and Winston" was very enjoyable as a bio, political history, war history, and prelude to "The Conquerors". I liked the portrait of Churchill; having recently struggled through the first Manchester volumn, it was refreshing to jump to his war years where he became famous on the world stage, and to see how his childhood affected his adult years. FDR comes across as the politician's politician, equally adept at handling Churchill and Stalin, Eleanor, and the American public. Meacham sc...

    Roy Jenkins, the prolific biographer of British Prime Ministers Gladstone and Churchill (as well as American President Harry Truman), died early last year, before this slim biography of Franklin Delano Roosevelt was completed. But even in its flawed state (it was completed by Richard E.
