About this product

Product Information

No Ordinary Timeis a monumental work, a brilliantly conceived chronicle of one of the most vibrant and revolutionary periods in the history of the United States. With an extraordinary collection of details, Goodwin masterfully weaves together a striking number of story lines--Eleanor and Franklin's marriage and remarkable partnership, Eleanor's life as First Lady, and FDR's White House and its impact on America as well as on a world at war. Goodwin effectively melds these details and stories into an unforgettable and intimate portrait of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt and of the time during which a new, modern America was born.

Goodwin has pulled off the double trick of making Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt seem so monumental as to have come from a very distant past, and at the same time so vital as to have been alive only yesterday., A thoroughly terrific and important work, a valuable addition to Roosevelt literature. . . .

    Great read

    This book is riveting right from the first paragraph. The author tells a compelling story of the personal lives of the Roosevelt's combined with the history of era surrounding WWII. It is filled with facts, newspaper accounts, and personal stories told through letters and family recollections.

    Great book--best nonfiction ever.

    This is about the third copy of this I've purchased. Reset read. A little problem with payment and shipping, but all is well.
