BURNS, JAMES MacGREGOR Roosevelt: the soldier of freedom.
New York Harcourt, Brace, Jovanovich, 1970 First Edition Hard Cover
722 pages, 8 plates, cloth, dust jacket little frayed otherwise very good. 1st edition. From the dj: The proposition of this stunning sequel to the celebrated Roosevelt: The Lion And The Fox, James MacGregor Burns notes in the Preface, is that Franklin D. Roosevelt 'as war leader was a deeply divided man - divided between the man of principle, of ideals, of faith…and…the man of Realpolitik, of prudence, of narrow, manageable, short-run goals, intent always on protecting his power and authority in a world of shifting moods an capricious fortune. This dualism cleft not only Roosevelt, but also his advisers… And it divided the American people themselves, who were vacillating between the evangelical moods of idealism, sentimentalism, and utopianism of one era and older traditions of national self-regard, protectiveness, and prudence of another. Mr. Burns has worked on an enormous canvas. The great world at war is passed in review, but the focus is always on Roosevelt - his brilliant war leadership, the great vision he pursued, the fatal ambivalence that lay at the heart of his strategy for freedom. The narrative moves from the dark days of 1940 and the fight over aid to embattled Britain to day in April 1945 when the President quietly slipped away. This is a triumphant biography, and its concluding volume is written with the grace and power that characterizes Mr. Burn's work.

678 pages, 8 plates, illustrations, cloth, dj, very good. 1st edition. From the dj: In war and in peace, the 20th century was the Roosevelt century. From Theodore Roosevet's Square Deal and battles with the plutocrats of the Gilded Age, to Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal and wartime leadership, to Eleanor Roosevelt's pivotal work of tne Unniversal Declaration of Human Rights and vital role in the Civil Rights movement, their crusades dramatically reshaped the political and moral landscape ofo ur nation. In The Three Roosevelts, Puliztzer Prize and National Book Award - winning author James MacGregor Burns and acclaimed historian Susan Dunn brilliantly illuminate the intertwiing lives of these leaders, who emerged from the closed society of New York's wealthy Knickerbocker elite to become America's most powerful advocates for social and economic justice. As Burns and Dunn follow the evolution of the Roosevelt political philosophy, theyexplore how Theodore's example of dynamic leadership would inspire the careers of his distant cousin Franliklin and his niece Eleanor.
