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.
