THE PARTNERSHIP THAT TRANSFORMED AMERICA
No Ordinary Time is a compelling chronicle of a nation and its leaders during the period when modern America was created. With an uncanny feel for detail and a novelist's grasp of drama and depth, Doris Kearns Goodwin brilliantly narrates the interrelationship between the inner workings of the Roosevelt White House and the destiny of the United States. Goodwin paints a comprehensive, intimate portrait that fills in a historical gap in the story of our nation under the Roosevelts.
"Goodwin has pulled off the double trick of making Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt seem so monumental as to have come from a very distant past, and at the same time so vital as to have been alive only yesterday."
—Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, The New York Times

How their talents, insecurities, and demons impacted on the country and the world will be much better understood with the publication of this remarkable book."
