Recommend a good FDR bio

It didn't really go into that it was the 2nd yalta conference that ultimately killed him.

young paleocon gives a talk about FDR's opposition: they weren't all fascist fellow-travelers

i can't verify the essential truth of this but it's interesting reading, especially the socialist vs communist split on the "war state"

Alfred, did you ever read a good FDR bio? Recommend a good FDR bio to me please

Traitor to his Class iirc

I read the third volume of Kenneth Davis' multi-volume set, as it happens.

I've been recommending Fear Itself: The New Deal and the Origins of Our Time for years: Ira Katznelson's definitive account of how the Roosevelt administration's courtship of racist Southerners was necessary to pass the most progressive legislation in American history.

which is v good, my only criticism is that it ends very abruptly - "and then he died, THE END"!, with zero discussion of say, how WWII ended or his legacy.

xps

Traitor to His Class is a solid one-volume bio.

thank u both
