(2) YA As much a commentary on modern times as it is on the past, this biography examines FDR's personal milestones (childhood, marriage, early political career, polio) as well as larger political events from the first half of the twentieth century (notably the Great Depression and WWII). Roosevelt emerges as something of an enigma, affable with the public while remaining aloof in private.
