Dr Lomazow categorically controverts many of the myths associated with the most important president of twentieth century. A fascinating medical biography.

This book seems to not only unmask hidden medical evidence in relation to FDR in his life but it also tells dirty little secrets I have never read in any other biography about him or Eleanor. I knew she didn’t get along with Sally and I knew her family life was tragic but in this book I learned things I never knew even about her mentor at her London girls academy. The fact that so much is divulged about Eleanor and all the great Tidbits you learn about FDR including the coverups I don’t know why they focused on the medical because this book is full of lots of great things from his snub in Harvard to the secrets divulge by his ex-girlfriend Alice and her ability to procreate all the way to the 1940 scandalous convention and the lies they told to get him a fourth term. This book is so super interesting I completely adored it and didn’t want to put it down it doesn’t a long read it’s 300 pages and every page is full of something that will keep you glued to the narrative. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to any other history thing even if you know a lot about FDR as I did I promise there still something to learn or at least there was for me. Please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Dr Lomazow’s book, FDR, Unmasked, provides his readers with hidden medical evidence concerning FDR’s health in an easy-to-understand narrative that doesn’t require a medical degree to decipher. Using meticulous research from archives that remained hidden from the public domain, the author delivers a superb account of the debilitating complexities of FDR’s condition.

FDR Unmasked reveals further conspiracy which Roosevelt used, to cover up several serious health conditions which plagued him for most of his life. It makes for compelling reading when one realises how his life hung by a thread for so long and how he must have suffered in silence through WW11 and the Great Depression. His caretakers were determined that his image remain untarnished but thanks to Dr Lomazow’s remarkable research we can now appreciate this great American icon and his legacy even more.

I would highly recommend this wonderful book to anyone who has an interest in Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Presidency and to those who enjoy fascinating and informative historical facts.

FDR Unmasked: 73 Years of Medical Cover-ups That Rewrote History by Steven Lomazow

Very entertaining book. The story is put together with resources of books along with diarie entries. Was hoping to hear my uncles name in this book as he worked for FDR in the secret service. before he retired in Maine. Fascinating parts were the glimpses into Newport Naval Base, National Parks, CCC and New deal which we should look into implementing again.

There is so much about this president from his young years til after his death. Love the wife’s diaries as we get to hear her side of the story as well. Feared I’d fall asleep reading this but that is not the case at all. There are politics included also but not enough to bore you.

Author hopes this selection will help you see what really happened with President Roosevelt. Very Detailed descriptions. Cool hearing the ailments of today were in our world back then.

Received this review copy from the publisher and this is my honest opinion.

Dr. Lomazow’s book on FDR is a captivating and accessible narrative, and you don’t need a medical background. The writing style is both engaging and informative, steering clear of overwhelming details while highlighting crucial moments in history and FDR’s life. Uncovering previously hidden documents, Dr. Lomazow sheds light on FDR’s polio-related paralysis, which was concealed from the public and media. Despite this, Roosevelt’s achieved great success as President and his legacy remains untarnished. This book digs even deeper, revealing a broader conspiracy to conceal additional health conditions, offering new insights into FDR’s presidency. The book skillfully explains medical complexities in layman’s terms, making it an enlightening read for anyone interested in FDR’s life and legacy.

In FDR Unmasked, Dr. Steven Lomazow has accomplished what no other author has achieved until now. Most previous biographies of Franklin Roosevelt talk at length about his well-known health issues, the paramount one being polio, with mention of severe hypertension and sometimes other heart-related concerns. To explain Roosevelt’s frequent illnesses, his immediate staff padded the disease inventory with such non-medical terms as “grippe, and “swamp fever.” The latter word was a malady invented by Marvin McIntyre, the President’s appointments secretary. But these illnesses were merely the tip of the iceberg. What all biographers have neglected is the most serious affliction of all–cancer.

A diagnosis of cancer, whether fatal or not, was the “kiss of death” for any politician in the mid-20th century, never mind the Chief Executive of the United States. Roosevelt’s prostate cancer and probable melanoma were never mentioned. Everyone from the White House physician and the President’s cardiologist to his daughter, Anna, did their utmost to propagate this deception during his 12 years in the White House or in the intervening 78 years since his death.

In 1990, as the U.S. Navy’s medical historian, I was the first person to interview Dr. Howard Bruenn, FDR’s cardiologist. Talking on the record with him was spellbinding. But I was as susceptible to this charming and seemingly authoritative physician as a multitude of others. When I pointed out the attention previously given to the curious pigmentation above FDR’s left eye, Bruenn responded, “That’s a photographic error or something. He never had anything wrong with that.” Needless to say, photos of Roosevelt taken from 1932 to 1940 show the suspected lesion either growing in size or suddenly absent.

FDR Unmasked is the most definitive, well-written, and exhaustively researched book ever written concerning the health of our Depression-era and wartime President. Perhaps it took a knowledgeable, investigative physician to decode the many medical clues embedded in public and private collections to accomplish this feat. Lomazow’s fascinating and essential read is for both the casual or serious student of Franklin D. Roosevelt’s presidency.
