Product Story

This is the companion volume to the acclaimed Ken Burns documentary about one of the most remarkable political families in U.S. history. Principal author Geoffrey C. Ward also appears on camera in the documentary as an award-winning biographer of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and he puts his deep familiarity with his subjects to good use in this tome. Ward’s 503-page chronicle reads like an illustrated family album, complete with personal stories and never-before-seen images. He broadens the usual biographer’s scope to cover both clans of the famous New York family: the Republicans of Oyster Bay and the Democrats of Hyde Park. Though differing in politics, these branches of the Roosevelt family tree are united in their impact on America, accounting for 19 years in the White House during tumultuous periods that shaped the world. 11" H x 9˝" W x 1˝" D.
