Named a Best Book of the Year by The Washington Post and NPR "We come to see in FDR the magisterial, central figure in the greatest and richest political tapestry of our nation's entire history" --Nigel Hamilton, Boston Globe "Meticulously researched and authoritative" --Douglas Brinkley, The Washington Post "A workmanlike addition to the literature on Roosevelt." --David Nasaw, The New York Times "Dallek offers an FDR relevant to our sharply divided nation" --Michael Kazin "Will rank among the standard biographies of its subject" --Publishers WeeklyA one-volume biography of Roosevelt by the #1 New York Times bestselling biographer of JFK, focusing on his career as an incomparable politician, uniter, and deal maker In an era of such great national divisiveness, there could be no more timely biography of one of our greatest presidents than one that focuses on his unparalleled political ability as a uniter and consensus maker. Robert Dallek's Franklin D. Roosevelt: A Political Life takes a fresh look at the many compelling questions that have attracted all his biographers: how did a man who came from so privileged a background become the greatest presidential champion of the country's needy? How did someone who never won recognition for his intellect foster revolutionary changes in the country's economic and social institutions? How did Roosevelt work such a profound change in the country's foreign relations? For FDR, politics was a far more interesting and fulfilling pursuit than the management of family fortunes or the indulgence of personal pleasure, and by the time he became president, he had commanded the love and affection of millions of people. While all Roosevelt's biographers agree that the onset of polio at the age of thirty-nine endowed him with a much greater sense of humanity, Dallek sees the affliction as an insufficient explanation for his transformation into a masterful politician who would win an unprecedented four presidential terms, initiate landmark reforms that changed the American industrial system, and transform an isolationist country into an international superpower. Dallek attributes FDR's success to two remarkable political insights. First, unlike any other president, he understood that effectiveness in the American political system depended on building a national consensus and commanding stable long-term popular support. Second, he made the presidency the central, most influential institution in modern America's political system. In addressing the country's international and domestic problems, Roosevelt recognized the vital importance of remaining closely attentive to the full range of public sentiment around policy-making decisions--perhaps FDR's most enduring lesson in effective leadership.

The dogs love it!
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
They look like slices of hot dogs, and they're a bit hit with my pups. Even my picky eater loves them! They're large enough to be satisfying and small enough that overfeeding the dogs is not an issue.

My dogs absolutely love this treat.
Size: 8 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have very picky dogs so I usually would start off with something small to give to my dogs. Sort of like a taste test. Case in point, I bought a small bag to test. Surprisingly, both of my dogs love this treat so I continued to purchase this item. These chips are pretty expensive so I try to buy them once a month on a subscription. Sometimes I end up buying more within the month because my dogs gobble these up like its their last meal. But again, these chips are pretty expensive but my dogs really love them.

Very good
Size: 1 Pound (Pack of 1)
There are two companies that have very little ingredients and this is one of them. I only buy dog treats that are made in the USA very little ingredients for a 1 pound bag so far this is the least expensive I need as small as I can get because I have a Golden and he doesn’t care whether he gets a tiny bit or 25 pound turkey. He wants more so the smaller they are the better it is for me. It must also be made in the USA and have very little ingredients right now. This is it.
