From the acclaimed author of John F. Kennedy: An Unfinished Life, the biography of one of America''s greatest presidents, Franklin D. Roosevelt.''Meticulously researched and authoritative, heroically objective and wide-angled ... Roosevelt is with us again in Dallek''s outstanding cradle-to-grave study'' Douglas Brinkley, Washington Post''Assuredly the best single-volume Roosevelt biography'' Eric Rauchway, The Times Literary Supplement''Essential ... a master of the presidential biography captures Roosevelt''s compassion and sense of solidarity'' Greg Grandin, Guardian''An insightful, incisive and intelligent one-volume work - and a pointed primer on how things in Washington get done. In a period defined by division, Dallek crafts a pointillist portrait of the four-term president, who knew almost intuitively how to reach consensus'' Peter M. Gianotti, Newsday
