Roosevelt: The Soldier of Freedom
Roosevelt: The Soldier of Freedom won the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award. The second entry in James Macgregor Burns's definitive two-volume biography of Franklin Delano Roosevelt begins with the president's precedent-breaking third term election in 1940, just as Americans were beginning to face the likelihood of war. Here, Burns examines Roosevelt's skillful wartime leadership as well as his vision for post-war peace. The Soldier of Freedom is a moving profile of a leader gifted with rare political talent in an era of extraordinary challenges, sacrifices, heroism, and hardship.
