The Three Roosevelts

The Three Roosevelts is a major new political biography of three leaders who transformed American society - and changed the course of the twentieth century.

In The Three Roosevelts, Pulitzer Prize- and National Book Award-winning author James MacGregor Burns and acclaimed historian Susan Dunn illuminate the intertwining lives of these three leaders, who emerged from the closed society of New York's Knickerbocker elite to become America's most powerful advocates for reform. As Burns and Dunn follow the evolution of the Roosevelt philosophy, they explore how Theodore's dynamic example inspired the careers of his distant cousin Franklin and his niece Eleanor.

Full of insight and compelling drama, The Three Roosevelts is a gripping narrative of three of America's greatest leaders, who together built a progressive political legacy that would change the world.
