Kenneth Sydney Davis

4.9/5 (21387 ratings)

Description:From Publishers WeeklyDavis, prize-winning historian of FDR: The Beckoning of Destiny, 18821928, continues his interpretive, multi-volume biography with a rich, expansive account of Roosevelt's New York governorship and his election to the presidency by a Depression-wracked nation. While covering the controversies of FDR's two Albany terms (electric power, Tammany corruption, etc.), Davis gives us the New Deal leader in the making, a much-underrated charmer, mastering the arts of politics and publicity, open to new experiences, and convinced his actions were intended by God. There are incisive views, too, of the "hurt, love-seeking" Eleanor; of Louis Howe, FDR's sickly, tormented and indispensable alter ego; and of the growing "Brains Trust." Davis, a gifted writer and member of the New Deal administration, makes this a compelling tale that will appeal to readers of popular history. November 26Copyright 1985 Reed Business Information, Inc.From Library JournalThe approach to the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, his two-term governorship of New York, has usually been treated as a way station. Among FDR's major biographers only Frank Freidel, in Franklin D. Roosevelt: the triumph (1956), gave these years full attention. Now Davis has produced a second such study, volume two inlike Freidel's worka multivolume biography as yet unfinished. Davis's book breaks no interpretive ground, and while less scholarly than Freidel's is nonetheless solid and delivered in an engaging, if sometimes overdone, prose style. It is a life and times, the narrative occasionally adjourned for background excursions or for portraiture of persons surrounding Roosevelt, e.g., Louis Howe, Al Smith, and, of course, Eleanor. All libraries owning the first volume will want this too. Robert F.
