Young Mr. Roosevelt
FDR's Introduction to War, Politics, and Life
Sinopsis
In Young Mr. Roosevelt Stanley Weintraub evokes Franklin Delano Roosevelts political and wartime beginnings. An unpromising patrician playboy appointed assistant secretary of the Navy in 1913, Roosevelt learned quickly and rose to national visibility in World War I. Democratic vice-presidential nominee in 1920, he lost the election but not his ambitions. While his stature was rising, his testy marriage to his cousin Eleanor was fraying amid scandal quietly covered up. Ever indomitable, even polio a year later would not suppress his inevitable ascent.
Against the backdrop of a reluctant Americas entry into a world war and FDRs hawkish build-up of a modern navy, Washingtons gossip-ridden society, and the nations surging economy, Weintraub summons up the early influences on the young and enterprising nephew of his predecessor, “Uncle Ted.”
