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.

I really enjoyed reading this book! The book offers an insight into the personal lives of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt during a critical time in US history. Kearns Goodwin is like David McCullough - she brings history to life. If all historians wrote like they do, more people would be reading history.
I got this for a friend

Having read this book borrowed from my son I wanted one for my grandson. It was written in a way that, while giving the facts, held my interest and wanting to read more. I have read two other of Doris Goodwin's books and each one had me anticipating what I would read next in a most interesting way.
Doris Kearns Goodwin is the best! I recently finished her book on Lincoln and couldn't wait to get my hands on No Ordinary Time. Her books are so readable and interesting you can't put them down.
