An important addition to the Profiles in Power series, this critical biography looks at Franklin D. Roosevelt, the most dominant US politician of the 1930s and 1940s. Renshaw argues that Roosevelt used the second world war to make America the greatest power on earth and that his 12 years in the White House transformed American politics and America's place in the world.
