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.
