FDR's Splendid Deception is an intensely personal view of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This truly remarkable biography of SBR has been widely acclaimed by reviewers and historians alike as a new look at a complex inner Roosevelt. Revised and updated, this moving story of FBR's massive disability -- and the intense efforts to conceal it from the public -- has been widely acknowledged as revising the understanding of Roosevelt's personality and decision-making process. Completely apolitical, the book offers a unique, intimate, and compassionate reappraisal of America's most successful disabled person -- Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR was a paraplegic polio who could not stand without braces nor walk without skilled assistance. Yet he was elected president of the United States four times. The public knew that FDR was lame from polio, but they were never told of the true extent of his disability. No press photo was ever published of the president in a wheelchair or in any situation that emphasized his paralysis. Likewise, the Secret Service saw to it that the president was never allowed to appear crippled in public. To a certain extent the public preferred not to see the degree of his handicap, and Roosevelt refused to admit even to himself the extent of his disability. This was FDR's "splendid deception." - Jacket flap.
