Reviews
AWashington PostNotable Book "Wonderful. . . . Rich in insights and fresh perspectives. . . . Brands is something of a rare breed. . . . This volume shows the precision and attention to detail that one would expect from a scholar and, at the same time, reads like a novel. . . . It may well be the best general biography of Franklin Roosevelt we will see for many years to come." -Christian Science Monitor "Excellent. . . . If you want to understand how a great president should act,Traitor to His Classis must reading." -The New York Observer "[Roosevelt] was an extraordinarily complicated man and the author copes skilfully with his complexity. . . . Mr. Brands is masterly." -The Economist "A graceful account of this complex, controversial, political genius who, everyone agrees, changed the course of history. Well-researched and exquisitely detailed." -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Fresh, approachable, even-handed." -Boston Globe "H. W. Brands has accomplished a remarkable feat in this terrific work. As if he were creating characters in a novel, he has brought to vivid life the central figures in his story-FDR, Eleanor, Sara Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and the inner circle in the White House-while at the same time providing a fresh understanding of the rich historical context for their thoughts and actions at every step along the way." -Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author ofTeam of Rivals "An easy-to-read portrait of a towering figure in American history." -St. Louis Post-Dispatch "Brilliantly executed. . . . Lean, with no fatty padding or sermonizing. Brands is resolutely evenhanded in his treatment of FDR, and he makes no attempt to persuade his readers of FDR's virtues or lack thereof." -Dallas Morning News "Vivid." -The Washington Post Book World "H. W. Brands is a master at finding the essence of an important American life, telling its story grippingly and showing us why it is important to our own generation. WithTraitor to His Class, he has surpassed even his own high standard. This judicious and compelling work is the first major one-volume biography written by an historian too young to have lived in Franklin Roosevelt's time. It deserves a wide audience, especially among those younger Americans who need to be told why we all owe so much to FDR." -Michael Beschloss, author ofPresidential CourageandThe Conquerors "We live in the world Franklin Roosevelt created, and we can never know enough about him. In this illuminating portrait of the man who proved far more radical than his upbringing would have ever suggested, H. W. Brands has painted FDR in bright and brilliant colors." -Jon Meacham, author ofFranklin and WinstonandAmerican Lion "May be Brands's most ambitious project yet. . . . [It] testifies to his talent as synthesizer and storyteller. . . . [If] you haven't read much about FDR's life, this is a good place to start. If you have, this is a good place to get reacquainted." -Providence Journal "This is a rare book, indeed, shedding new light and brilliant insight upon an elusive subject we thought we knew well. In this elegant, all-encompassing portrayal, master historian H. W. Brands shows us a leader who got the big issues right and, in doing so, forever changed the expectations of the world.Traitor to His, "Wonderful.... This may well be the best general biography of Franklin Roosevelt we will see for many years to come." -The Christian Science Monitor "Excellent.... A sweeping account that adores its subject.... If you want to understand how a great president should act,Traitor to His Classis must reading." -The New York Observer "Fresh, approachable, even-handed.... H. W. Brands, the gifted University of Texas historian, has produced...an exhaustive but not exhausting biography of Franklin Delano Roosevelt." -The Boston Globe "Brilliantly executed.... Lean, with no fatty padding or sermonizing. Brands is resolutely evenhanded in his treatment of FDR, and he makes no attempt to persuade his readers of FDR's virtues or lack thereof." -Dallas Morning News "If you haven't read much about FDR's life, this is a good place to start. If you have, this is a good place to get reacquainted. As events continue to swirl around us, you will sometimes feel eerily at home." -Providence Journal "Well-researched and exquisitely detailed, Brands' effort does not ignore Roosevelt's foibles and failures, personal and public." -Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "H.W. Brands is a master at finding the essence of an important American life, telling its story grippingly and showing us why it is important to our own generation. WithTraitor to His Class, he has surpassed even his own high standard. This judicious and compelling work is the first major one-volume biography written by an historian too young to have lived in Franklin Roosevelt's time. It deserves a wide audience, especially among those younger Americans who need to be told why we all owe so much to FDR." -- Michael Beschloss "This is a rare book, indeed, shedding new light and brilliant insight upon an elusive subject we thought we knew well. In this elegant, all-encompassing portrayal, master historian H. W. Brands shows us a leader who got the big issues right and, in doing so, forever changed the expectations of the world. Traitor to His Classwill quickly emerge as the finest one-volume biography of FDR." -David Oshinsky, Winner of the 2006 Pulitzer Prize for History "We live in the world Franklin Roosevelt created, and we can never know enough about him. In this illuminating portrait of the man who proved far more radical than his upbringing would have ever suggested, H. W. Brands has painted FDR in bright and brilliant colors." -Jon Meacham, author ofFranklin and WinstonandAmerican Lion: Andrew Jackson in the White House "H.W. Brands has accomplished a remarkable feat in this terrific work. As if he were creating characters in a novel, he has brought to vivid life the central figures in his story--FDR, Eleanor, Sara Roosevelt, Winston Churchill, and the inner circle in the White House--while at the same time providing a fresh understanding of the rich historical context for their thoughts and actions at every step along the way." -Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and author ofTeam of Rivals "Very much worth reading." -The New Yorker "Impressive...Roosevelt was prepared to be radical to meet dangerous circumstances. Yet his instincts and the outcomes of many of his policies were often conservative. As a radical, he saved the old order--and advanced Ameriacn power more than any president since Jefferson...Courage, charm, resourceful cunning and a hidden hardness enabled him to save American capitalism, though, as he said himself, it was Dr. Win-the-War,
