Franklin D. Roosevelt: A Rendezvous With Destiny
by By Freidel, Frank
Category: Biography & Autobiography , General

Freidel (history emeritus, Harvard U., U. of Washington), whose  four- volume biography of the young FDR concluded with the  launching of the New Deal, now offers a one-volume complete  biography. Although he details Roosevelt's life before his  presidency, the focus is on the Depression and wartime periods.  This will probably become the standard one-volume biography.
