Features: This book is primarily a political biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In addition to his social life, it thoroughly discusses his personal life, as work mercilessly swept the great politician into its vortex, including his family, and even his beloved dog. How did Roosevelt become such a political figure at that time? Why was he able to effectively seize power? From a long-term perspective, how powerful was he as a leader? In what aspects did he fail, and why? What significance does his life hold for Americans and American policies? This book also focuses on the issue of political leadership within the American democratic system. It primarily concentrates on Roosevelt himself but also examines the political environment in which he operated. My approach is based on the main findings of social scientists: leadership is a universal issue of character and is rooted in a specific spiritual civilization. We can only understand this politician based on his specific political, social, and ideological context, that is, only in the way he shaped society and was shaped by society.
