Book
Master of his fate : Roosevelt's rise from polio to the presidency / James Tobin.
"In 1921, FDR contracted polio. Just as he began to set his sights on the New York governorship--and, with great hope, the presidency--FDR became paralyzed from the waist down. FDR faced a radical choice: give up politics or reenter the arena with a disability, something never seen before. With the help of Eleanor and close friends, Roosevelt made valiant strides toward rehabilitation and became even more focused on becoming president, proving that misfortune sometimes turns out to be a portal to unexpected opportunities and rewards--even to greatness." -- Amazon.com.
"A biography of FDR, focusing on his battle with polio and how his disease set him on the course to become president, for fans of Steve Sheinkin's political biographies."-- Provided by publisher.
