56:22Now PlayingA consummate statesman to the last, Franklin Roosevelt oversaw the D-Day invasion, the Manhattan Project, and attended the Yalta conference during his final sixteen months—a period overshadowed by his recent diagnosis of severe hypertension and congestive heart failure. In his deeply researched and compassionate account, Lelyveld, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Move Your Shadow and the former correspondent and executive editor of The New York Times, details FDR’s decisions and considers his motivations during this difficult time, masterfully interweaving the leader’s public and private concerns.
