The textblock is clean with no writing, bookplate, or markings and not BCE, ex-library, or remaindered. Moderate page tanning with heavier tanning to front and rear free endpapers and pastedowns. The dust jacket is unclipped ($3.75) with mild soiling, chipping and some tape repair on the back side. Protected in a new Brodart Mylar cover. 410 pages, including index and bibliography. 5½ x 8½" tall. John Gunther was one of the best known and most admired journalists of his day, and his series of "Inside" books, were immensely popular profiles of the major world powers. This work about FDR, written in 1950 just 5 years after the great man's death, still stands as one of the best overviews of the subject. It was the first overall and objective appraisal of Roosevelt as a human being. The book is split into sections dealing with each part of Roosevelt's life before becoming a president, as president, creating the New Deal, and as a wartime president.
