Until I read this:
Highlights of FDR: A PRESIDENCY REVEALED (PART ONE) include:
Previously unseen home movies from his beloved estate in Hyde Park, New York, showing the private side that FDR so fiercely protected, and the early memories of his grandson Curtis: "He loved to play games, loved to be silly."
Historians' views on FDR's New Deal and his first hundred days in office, the most prolific and innovative legislative period in the nation's history.
Commentary about his commitment to civil rights, including disapproval from his own wife and interviews with modern-day dissenters.
Excerpts from and background on FDR's famous Fireside Chats, by which he developed a bond with the American people that would strengthen over time.
Detailed oral history accounts from Eleanor Roosevelt on the day FDR contracted polio and became paralyzed while visiting his summer home on Campobello Island in New Brunswick, a source of insecurity and pain the rest of his life, and touching first-hand accounts of his fruitless struggle to walk again.
A balanced look at FDR's failures, including a disastrous attempt to reconfigure the Supreme Court.
Details of FDR's flawed relationship with Eleanor, including an affair he had in his thirties with Lucy Page Mercer that nearly resulted in divorce.
An inside look at the most overlooked event in FDR's entire presidency, when Tyler Kent, an American working at the U.S. Embassy in England, was found to have intercepted months' worth of secret correspondence between FDR and Winston Churchill, with the intention of providing the information to political enemies in an attempt to expose FDR as a liar for promising American neutrality in the fight against Germany.
Highlights of FDR: A PRESIDENCY REVEALED (PART TWO) include:
FDR's struggle to convince the isolationist Congress of the growing threat posed by Adolf Hitler.
The devastating losses of both his mother and his beloved personal assistant, Missy LeHand; declining health and the growing threat of war; and Curtis Roosevelt's disclosure of the loneliness FDR felt during his latter terms.
Eleanor's oral history about his strangely detached demeanor in the wake of the Pearl Harbor attack.
An inside look at FDR's bond with Churchill, forged on mutual respect and a desire to keep the free world strong.
Footage from FDR's secret escapes to Hyde Park during the war, in which he would relax with friends and mix martinis with a dash of absinthe, said by many to be the worst they'd ever tasted.
Stunning details of FDR's ability to perform his job in the face of gravely deteriorating health, including an advanced state of congestive heart failure during his third term.
A first-hand account from cousin, confidante, and caregiver Daisy Suckley of FDR's death in Warm Springs, Georgia, just months into his fourth term.
