About This Item
New York: W.W. Norton & Company, 1980. First edition of the historian's first book. Octavo, original half cloth. Michael Beschloss' personal copy with his name to the front free endpaper. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Edward P. Diehl. Foreword by James MacGregor Burns. From the library of Beschloss. Beschloss's first book provides the first full portrait of the relationship between Kennedy and Roosevelt - of primal politics and friendship, of public principle and the wielding of power. It recreates the rollicking high spirits of the 1920s campaign train, the confidential talks of president and adviser, Kennedy's mission to ride herd over Wall Street and make peace with such controversial men as Hearst and Father Coughlin.
