New York: Random House, 2022. First Edition [Stated], First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. xxvii, {1]. 407, [13] pages. Illustrations. Notes. Selected Bibliography. Index. Jonathan Darman is a journalist and historian who writes about American politics and the presidency. He is the author of the books BECOMING FDR: The Personal Crisis that Made a President and LANDSLIDE: Lyndon Johnson and Ronald Reagan at the Dawn of a New America. As a former national political correspondent for Newsweek, Jonathan covered the presidential campaigns of Hillary Clinton, John Kerry and Mitt Romney and wrote extensively about other major figures in national politics and media. He covered the 2004 presidential campaign for the magazine’s special election project, which garnered the National Magazine Award for Single Topic Issue. Jonathan has also appeared frequently as a commentator on politics and presidential history on broadcast television, cable news and public radio. Jonathan is a graduate of Harvard College where he studied American history and literature. In popular memory, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was the quintessential political “natural.” Born in 1882 to a wealthy, influential family, he seemed destined for high office. Yet for all his gifts, the young Roosevelt lacked depth, empathy, and an ability to think strategically. Those qualities, so essential to his success as president, were skills he acquired during his seven-year journey through illness and recovery. Becoming FDR traces the riveting story of the struggle that forged Roosevelt’s character and political ascent. More
