In a ranking of chief executives, no more than three of his predecessors could truly be placed in contention with his standing, and of his successors, there are so far none. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn acute, stylish prose, Roy Jenkins tackles all of the nuances and intricacies of FDR's character. He was a skilled politician with astounding flexibility; he oversaw an incomparable mobilization of American industrial and military effort; and, all the while, he aroused great loyalty and dazzled those around him with his personal charm. Despite several setbacks and one apparent catastrophe, his life was buoyed by the influence of Eleanor, who was not only a wife but an adviser and one of the twentieth century's greatest political reformers. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNearly complete before Jenkins's death in January 2003, this volume was finished by historian Richard Neustadt.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRoy Jenkins\u003c\/b\u003e was the author of twenty-one books, including the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestsellers \u003ci\u003eChurchill\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eGladstone\u003c\/i\u003e, the latter of which won the Whitbread Prize for Biography.
