David Beito’s path-breaking new book brings to bear the latest historical scholarship to shed light on the life and achievements of Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Professor Beito traces the irresistible political rise of Roosevelt, a scion of inherited wealth who never posed as a man of the people but was always perceived as a genial aristocrat. As well as eyebrow-raising disclosures on FDR’s private life, Beito’s gripping narrative brings out Roosevelt’s ruthless opportunism, and his susceptibility to all the prejudicial views fashionable at the time, on race, sex, nationalism, and economics.

David T. Beito is Professor Emeritus at the University of Alabama. He is author of The New Deal’s War on the Bill of Rights: The Untold Story of FDR’s Concentration Camps, Censorship, and Mass Surveillance (2023), T.R.M. Howard (biography of the civil rights pioneer, 2018), and Taxpayers in Revolt (1989, on tax resistance in the 1930s), as well as numerous scholarly and popular articles.
