Description

The book is devoted to one of the greatest statesmen and political figures of the 20th century—someone who, to a large extent, shaped the face of the modern era. Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected President of the United States in the darkest days of the Great Depression. He didn’t merely manage to overcome that crisis—he restored Americans’ faith in their own strength and turned his country into a world leader. It is to Roosevelt that we owe outstanding achievements in creating the anti-Hitler coalition. One could say that not only the position of the United States in today’s world, but also the balance of power on the current world stage is, in many ways, part of F. D. Roosevelt’s legacy.

The book reveals Roosevelt’s remarkable personal qualities, his characteristic way of thinking and acting, and depicts a life full of events of this outstanding man. The reliability and completeness of factual material are combined with a profound psychological analysis of the President’s inner world and the atmosphere around him, as well as with the literary merits of the presentation.
