Description: The definitive biography of president Franklin Delano Roosevelt for young adult readers, from National Book Award finalist Albert Marrin ; Brought up in a privileged family, Franklin Delano Roosevelt had every opportunity in front of him. As a young man, he found a path in politics and quickly began to move into the public eye. That ascent seemed impossible when he contracted polio and lost the use of his legs. But with a will of steel he fought the disease and public perception of his disability to become president of the United States of America. This biography explores the life of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a fascinating, complex man, who was born into privilege, struggled the confines of polio, and became a strong leader as the thirty-second president of the United States.
