Wow. Didn’t think we’d hear anything majorly new about FDR, but this book delivers. He was way more of a physical wreck than the public was told at the time. It now makes sense why he died on the job. Unbelievable how this was evolving through the Depression and WWII. One shudders to think how either set of events could have turned out different. The slender thread on which the president was hanging…
Equally shocking is the coverup that went along with it. We sort of knew that in how they hid his polio, but the real story is so much worse. And once the lie is installed, it continued, even after his death. The caretakers of FDR’s legacy were more concerned with his image than history. Well, thanks to this book, that’s over!
For the record, this isn’t another conspiracy book. It seems to be very solid research based on archives that haven’t previously been consulted. Author Lomazow’s a doctor in real-life, so he saw a lot of stuff that the academics overlooked.
