Roosevelt's leadership between Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor and the "infamy speech" is the focus of this book--a 24 hour period in US history. A short listen, it defines a transition from isolationist to world power. The book was also a short biography of FDR, including his career and personal life, with particular emphasis on his polio disability; how he managed the duties of the president. In the afterward, the author draws parallels with the present day. I enjoyed the book and would read/listen to more by this author. ( ) This relatively short book covers the day in the life of FDR that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. The biography weaves in information from other times in his life and about the political and economic environment of the time. The book was interesting and mildly educational but is limited in scope. I am unclear whether the author can actually speak authoritatively. I weakly recommend the book but other sources could likely provide more insight with greater detail. Rambling (a lot of space is spent on what FDR did before and after, despite a statement in the preface that the author intended to concentrate on the period immediately after Pearl Harbor) and superficial. This is the sort of book one might give to a bright pre-teen who expressed interest in World War II and Pearl Harbor. Easily readable, but nothing new. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
