Robert Dallek takes a fresh look at compelling questions that have attracted all FDR's biographers. How did a man who came from so privileged a background become one of the greatest champions of the country's needy? And how did someone never recognized for his intellect foster revolutionary changes in the country's institutions and foreign relations? 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945. 650 0 $a Presidents $z United States $v Biography. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1933-1945. 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1919-1933. 650 0 $a Large type books. 830 0 $a Thorndike Press large print biographies and memoirs. 941 $a 9 945 $a lpt 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201022408.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230104013916.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220517010353.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204091128.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110073020.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006113049.0 952 $l KWPE446 $d 20180731031521.0 952 $l HPPD845 $d 20180728013926.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20180519012118.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=68AF3A38FB5411E7891C5F6197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
