The myths about Franklin Delano Roosevelt live on.
For the Left, FDR was a champion of the working class and the oppressed, suffering abuse as a traitor to his class. He gave up the lifestyle of the Hudson River gentry to lead his country out of the Depression and to victory against fascism. For many on the Right, FDR was out of his depth on economics but provided Americans with the optimism and confidence necessary to prevail during the Depression and gain victory in World War II.
Debunking FDR: The Man and The Myths exposes the suppressed and distorted facts about FDRs life and the legends about him (many invented by FDR himself!) promoted by generations of historians. Born into immense wealth and insulated from the struggles of everyday Americans, FDRs young life was one of vast privilege and mediocre talents. Mary Grabar chronicles FDRs path to the presidency: his second-rate studies at Harvard, his indifference to law school and the legal profession, and his steady, insouciant rise through the government ranks. You will not think of FDR the same way again.
