About this book

The Roosevelt Presence: The Life and Legacy of FDR by Maney, Patrick J.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780520216372.

Franklin D. Roosevelt is the only twentieth-century president consistently ranked by historians with the Founding Fathers and Abraham Lincoln. His leadership in the dark hours of the Depression and the Second World War has endowed him in the eyes of many with an aura of greatness, and his presidency has been the explicit or implicit model for all of his successors, from Truman to Clinton. In this concise biography, Patrick J. Maney provides an original and insightful reexamination of Roosevelts life and legacy, carefully sifting fact from myth and showing how the Roosevelt legend―for good and for ill―has shaped the modern presidency.
