Beschreibung:
James Tertius de Kay has written a number of well-received books of American naval history: Chronicles of the Frigate Macedonian; Monitor; and A Rage for Glory. He lives in Pawcatuck, Connecticut.
This is the story of a very different Franklin Delano Roosevelt from the one usually found in the history books. This is a much younger, untested FDR, a physically active, pre-polio FDR, as seen during his early years in Washington, learning the complexities of gaining and exercising power as Woodrow Wilson's ambitious Assistant Secretary of the Navy. He arrives in Washington as a somewhat shallow, inexperienced political neophyte possessed of little more than a famous name, but by the time he leaves the Navy eight years later he will have transformed himself into a seasoned professional, wise to the ways of power, a visionary ready and eager to take his place on the world stage.
For, as never seen before: his formative years as Woodrow Wilson's Assistant Secretary of the Navy, evolving from political neophyte to visionary leader.
