Title: No Ordinary Biography
Review: Doris Kearns Goodwin has given us a treasure in "No Ordinary Time," a vivid, intimate, informative, and readable biography of FDR and Eleanor during the WWII years, as well as a history of the time itself. This book is doubly relevant now, because since 9/11/01, we too are living in anything but an "ordinary time." We don't know what is going to happen next, and neither does anyone else...including the White House. In their time, neither Franklin nor Eleanor knew what was coming next. The anxiety and weight of responsibility certainly took a toll on both of them. Kearns is unabashedly a fan of both FDR and Eleanor, but this does not prevent her from revealing their weaknesses as well as their strengths. Highly recommend.
