No Ordinary Time
Doris Kearns Goodwin’s Pulitzer Prize–winning classic about the relationship between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt, and how it shaped the nation while steering it through the Great Depression and the outset of World War II.
With an extraordinary collection of details, Goodwin masterfully weaves together a striking number of story lines—Eleanor and Franklin’s marriage and remarkable partnership, Eleanor’s life as First Lady, and FDR’s White House and its impact on America as well as on a world at war. Goodwin effectively melds these details and stories into an unforgettable and intimate portrait of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt and of the time during which a new, modern America was born.

Super high quality work. Arguably one of the most momentous five years in modern history. This work gives you a front row seat to some of biggest players. Truly outstanding book.

Ms. Goodwin captures the full scope of the humanity and constructive effect on history of these two American goliaths. She brings you into afternoon cocktail parties and discussions which shaped FDR’s presidency. You are fully there for this monumental ride of history. Like all of her work her historical figures are provided full depth of humanity which enables the reader to fully understand their motives and emotions.

This is probably among the top 10 books I read during my entire life!!! Really well written and makes you feel like you are standing there as an observant of life in the White House during WWII.
