A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history’s most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees? In Charles River Editors’ American Legends series, readers can get caught up to speed on the lives of America’s most important men and women in the time it takes to finish a commute, while learning interesting facts long forgotten or never known. 


Franklin Delano Roosevelt might be America’s greatest 20th century president, but there’s no question that he was the most unique. A well-connected relative of Theodore Roosevelt, FDR was groomed for greatness until he was struck down by polio. Nevertheless, he persevered, rising through New York politics to reach the White House just as the country faced its greatest challenge since the Civil War, beginning his presidency with one of the most iconic lines ever spoken during an inaugural address. 


For over a decade, President Roosevelt threw everything he had at the Great Depression, and then threw everything the country had at the Axis powers during World War II. Ultimately, he succumbed to illness in the middle of his fourth term, just before the Allies won the war. 


American Legends: The Life of Franklin D. Roosevelt covers all the well known highlights of Roosevelt’s life and presidency, but it also humanizes the nation’s longest serving president, covering Roosevelt’s family and famous wife, the philosophical shift Roosevelt led the country through with the New Deal, and the tenacious figher who battled polio and Adolf Hitler. Along the way, you will learn interesting facts about FDR you never knew, including his distant familial relationship with wife Eleanor, and see pictures of the important people and events in Roosevelt’s life. 


Learn about FDR like you never have before, in no time at all.
