Octavo, burgundy cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, xvii + 889 pp. Fine in a Near Fine, price-clipped dust jacket. From dust jacket: Drawing upon thousands of original documents, many never before examined, as well as interviews with members of the Roosevelt family and with others who knew Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt intimately, A First-Class Temperament provides a vivid, unsentimental, and sometimes startling biography of the young lawyer and public servant who became our thirty-second president. It begins in 1905 with the Roosevelts' European honeymoon, during which the strains that would one day permanently alter their marriage were already evident. It traces Roosevelt's career as a fledgling lawyer and follows him into politics, first as a New York state senator with more style than substance, and then to Washington during World War I, where he served for seven showy years as assistant secretary of the Navy and fell in love with his wife's social secretary, Lucy Mercer. It also chronicles his hectic race for the vice-presidency in 1920, conducted under a cloud of lurid scandal that came perilously close to destroying his career. Finally, the book provides the richest and most detailed account ever written of Roosevelt's harrowing seven-year struggle to recover from the devastating impact of infantile paralysis -- the full extent of that impact still unknown to most Americans more than forty years after FDR's death. Roosevelt is always at the center of things in this book, but it is also the story of those who knew him best: Eleanor Roosevelt, whose hard-fought struggle to build her own independent life was threatened by her husband's return to politics; Sara Delano Roosevelt, Franklin's formidable and much-maligned mother, who helped finance his campaigns while wishing always that he would abandon them; Livingston Davis, Roosevelt's raffish, doomed companion in good times and bad; Isabella Ferbguson Greenway, Eleanor's girlhood friend to whom she poured out her heart in a series of extraordinary, never-before-published letters; Missy LeHand, the loyal secretary who became closer to Roosevelt than his wife; Josephus Daniels, his superior at the Navy Department, whose forbearance in the face of Roosevelt's repeated betrayals saved the younger man from political disaster; Louis Howe, the shred, ugly little man who helped create Eleanor Roosevelt's public persona while acting as her husband's goad, jester, and strategist -- all for complex reasons of his own. A First-Class Temperament is, above all, the personal story of Franklin Roosevelt, with all his charm and deviousness, his secret fears and public self-confidence. It is a crisply detailed close-up portrait of an often unfeeling husband and fond but absent father, a pampered patrician trying to find his way in the sweaty world of everyday politics and perfectly willing to abandon allies and jettison principle if he thought it would help him rise to power -- who somehow also found within himself the courage and resourcefulness to come back from a handicap that would have crushed a less resilient man and then go on to meet and master the two gravest crises of our century.
