Jackson Edited and Introduced by John Q. Barrett (read 17 Sep 2005) This was written by Jackson--attorney-general and Supreme Court justice--and not published till 2003. It tells in 8 frank chapters about Jackson's times with FDR, and he evaluates him as politician, lawyer, commander-in-chief, administrator, economist, companion and sportsman, and Leader. Though admiratory of Roosevelt it does not give him high marks in some of those roles. I found the book fun to read because it deals with behind the scenes events concerning a period I lived through and know well. The book also has a good bibliographical essay on Roosevelt and the writings by people of his adminstration. This was a good and easy book to read and a good behind the scenes account of interesting times. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Robert H. Jackson was one of the giants of the Roosevelt era: an Attorney General, a still revered Supreme Court Justice and, not least important, one of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's close friends and advisers. His intimate memoir of FDR, written in the early 1950s before Jackson's untimely death, has remained unpublished for fifty years. Here is that newly discovered memoir. Written with skill and grace, this is truly a unique account of the personality, conduct, greatness of character, and common humanity of ""that man in the White House,"" as outraged conservatives called FDR. Jackson simply Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
