FDR Audiobook

" Very readable biography of FDR which seems particularly relevant at this particular point in time. The focus is rightly on his presidency, and topics are covered in a reasonable amount of depth considering his whole life is covered in just over 600 pages. "

" Eh, if Barack Obama has inspired you to read books about FDR and Lincoln, this is a good one to choose. "

" Occasionally questioning a conclusion made by the author, but the bio is very detailed and fascinating. "

" This book was very informative i just felt it was a bit to condesned I mean they summed up his fourth term and death in only 6 pages. Plus the author kept putting in random parralels between roosevelt and the subjects of his last book which really got irratating after a while. "

" Found out that I really just knew FDR for the New Deal and WWII, but a lot of other interesting stories in this book. Really enjoyed learning about FDR's early life, his role in NY politics and some of his major mistakes in domestic politics. Long, but well paced. "

" Very enjoyable read. I highly recommend it based upon how the author does a good job of describing FDR's personality. I felt as if I had some connection to the late former president on account of Smith's history of the man. Very well researched as well. "

" A good read, not overly critical bio of the man and president. Many interesting and illuminating facts and insights. "

" This was by far the most insightful biography of FDR I have read, and there have been several. The book moved along well, and kept your interest. "

" Great book. Unbiased account of FDR's life, his policies and WWII. Highly recommend to anyone interested in an iconic American politician. "

" It took forever to complete this book but it was worthwhile. The only disappointing part is that FDR's death and its ramifications were not followed up. "

" This is a hard but interesting read. By hard I mean it is one of those books you read with other books over time so this one is in progress. Fascinating though. "

" Very well done bio, excellent. "

" The best biography of our nation's 32nd president Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He served as president during the Great Depression and World War II and also was the only president to serve the longest term in office. "

" Very readable and full of detail. Great if you are looking for a detailed front-on bio of FDR. "

" I guess I'm on an American presidents biography jag. What an excellent book. It gives a great overview of FDR's life and is unabashedly pro-Roosevelt. "

" Best biography I've ever read, and potentially the best history book I've read. Sweeping in magnitude, FDR doesnt forget the interesting and often humorous details that make history so rich and exciting. Five stars hardly expresses how much I enjoyed reading this book. "

" Incredible, unabashed, and honest. Really goes beyond the bounds of typical Presidential biographies. "

" No mention of Japanese internment camps? Really? "

" Great book. Unbiased account of FDR's life, his policies and WWII. Highly recommend to anyone interested in an iconic American politician. "

" Very well done bio, excellent. "

" An extremely readable biography about a complex man, and a complex presidency. "

" Interesting, although exhaustive, book about FDR...very open about his faults, prejudices, and affairs. There is so much detail that I sometimes skimmed over passages (the book is over 1,000 pages...good for weight-lifting!), but still retained a lot of information. "

" She got everything right but Pearl Harbor. "Day of Deceit: FDR and Pearl Harbor" gives the true picture as reseaarched over 40 years in my experience. The information about the new deal is great in this book. "
