description: Winner of the Pulitzer for History, No Ordinary Time is a chronicle of one of the most vibrant &amp; revolutionary periods in US history. With an extraordinary collection of details, Goodwin weaves together a number of story lines—the Roosevelt’s marriage &amp; partnership, Eleanor’s life as First Lady, &amp; FDR’s White House &amp; its impact on America as well as on a world at war. Goodwin melds these into an intimate portrait of Eleanor &amp; Franklin Roosevelt &amp; of the time during which a new, modern America was born.Preface"The decisive hour has come" "A few nice boys with BB guns""Back to the Hudson" "Living here is very oppressive""No ordinary time" "I am a juggler" "I can't do anything about her" "Arsenal of democracy" "Business as usual" "A great hour to live""A completely changed world""Two little boys playing soldier""What can we do to help?"
