“By far the most enigmatic leading figure” of World War !L
Thats how the British military historian John Keegan de-
scribed Franklin D. Roosevelt, who frequently left his con-
temporaries guessing, never more so than at the end of
his life. Here, in a hugely insightful account, a prizewinning
author and journalist untangles the narrative threads of
Roosevelts final months, showing how he juggled the stra-
tegic, political, and personal choices he faced as the war,
his presidency, and his life raced in tandem to their climax.
The story has been told piecemeal but never like this, with
a close focus on Roosevelt himself and his hopes for a stable
international order after the war, and how these led him into
a prolonged courtship of Joseph Stalin, the Soviet dictator,
involving secret, arduous journeys to Tehran and the Crimea.
In between, as the war entered its final phase, came the thun-
derbolt of a dire medical diagnosis, raising urgent questions
about the ability of the longest-serving president to stand for
a fourth term at a time when he had little choice. Neither his
family nor top figures in his administration were informed of
his diagnosis, let alone the public or his closest ally, Winston
Churchill. With D-Day looming, Roosevelt took a month off
on a plantation in the south where he was examined daily by a
navy cardiologist, then waited two more months before finally
announcing, on the eve of his party s convention, that he’d
be a candidate. A political grand master still, he manipulated
the selection of a new running mate, with an eye to a possible
succession, displaying some of his old vigor and wit in a win-
ning campaign.
With precision and compassion, Joseph Lelyveld examines
the choices Roosevelt faced, shining new light on his state
of mind, preoccupations, and motives, both as leader of the
wartime alliance and in his personal life. Confronting his own
mortality, Roosevelt operated in the belief that he had a duty
to see the war through to the end, telling himself he could
always resign if he found he couldn’t carry on.
Lelyveld delivers an incisive portrait of this deliberately in-
scrutable man, a consummate leader to the very last.
