The Roosevelt Presence: The Life and Legacy of FDR
"Maney brings cool judgment to bear on the best loved, most hated, most  influential, and most enigmatic personality of modern America. . . . A model,  compact biography."  --Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr., Political Science Quarterly"Maney's work both demystifies Roosevelt and reminds us of his  centrality to modern American history. Deeply informed, elegantly written, and  persuasively argued, it stands as a major scholarly achievement."  --Ellis W.  Hawley, American Historical Review
