Dr. Lomazow presents a book on FDR that is wholly understandable without needing a medical degree. The style of writing is a book that is hard to put down, both entertaining and informative. Dr. Lomazow highlights key moments in history and FDR’s life without getting bogged down in details. He uncovers documents hidden from the American public and only now brought to light. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in FDR.

The health of the president is likely to be a hot topic during the next election, since both of the leading candidates are in their 70s (Biden just turned 80). This book examines what may be the greatest health cover-up of any president in history. By now, everybody knows that FDR was a cripple, due to an attack of polio, for the greater part of his life. What is not known by the public–then or now–is revealed in this remarkable book. For years, Roosevelt was suffering from a variety of ailments, any of which could have struck him down. The few health professionals who treated him–and were part of the cover-up–were aware when he ran for a fourth term in office that he would not live to complete it. This is not speculation, because the book’s author is a medical doctor who has been researching FDR’s health issues for years. What he has discovered should be required reading for any American who casts a vote in the next election. Journalists especially should use it as a guide to the right questions to ask, because their counterparts in FDR’s time certainly dropped the ball and did the American public no favors.

I had long understood that FDR had gone to incredible lengths to hide the extent of his polio-related paralysis, and that the news media of the day conspired to keep his condition from public knowledge and view. However, this has not sullied his unrivaled accomplishments and legacy. Rather, I believe that the personal sacrifice and strength it took Roosevelt to maintain this subterfuge was admirable as well as essential, enabling him to sidestep his disability so he could lead our country to success and to craft a new world order. FDR Unmasked reveals an even larger conspiracy orchestrated by Roosevelt to cover up several other serious and debilitating health conditions that he suffered with for most of his life, and that before this writing, have never been fully acknowledged. Dr. Lomazow has reassessed neglected resources and unearthed incredible new accounts that upends the accepted history and reveals new insights into the impact of FDR’s health on his presidency. A casual reader should have no problem understanding the medical complexities of Roosevelt’s condition, as the author is careful to explain the science in layman’s terms. FDR Unmasked, and its revelations of the debilitating nature of Roosevelt’s hidden maladies, will give you an even greater appreciation for this American icon.

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.

As a practicing neurologist for decades, Dr. Lomazow brings insights into the story of FDR’s health that other biographers have missed, and he has accepted nothing written previously at face value. His deep, dogged research has uncovered a story that has been not only swept under the rug but hotly denied by Roosevelt’s family and doctors. The line they fed earlier biographers was than simply accepted and repeated by those who followed. Hardly a “bolt from the blue,” as his death was characterized by his primary physician, the deterioration of this remarkable and courageous man had been going on for years before his death on April 12, 1945. It’s a wonder he lived to be sixty-three. Kudos to Steve Lomazow for his detective work and clinical insights.
