Bookroo's summary

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, despite being wheelchair-bound by polio, navigates the U.S. through the Great Depression and World War II. Elected four times, his leadership during these turbulent years offers a gripping tale of resilience and determination. How did he manage to steer the country through such monumental challenges? Discover the story of a president who faced adversity head-on, shaping the nation in its darkest hours.

From the publisher

Although polio left him wheelchair bound, Franklin Delano Roosevelt took office during the Great Depression and served as president during World War II. Elected four times, he spent thirteen years in the White House. How he led the country through tremendously difficult problems, much like the ones facing America today, makes for a timely and engrossing biography.
