Its a review about this product
Behind every successful leader, in this specific case the President of the United States, stands at least one person of whom it can be said is the "power behind the throne." In Franklin Delano Roosevelt's case, that man was Harry Hopkins, an Iowa-born social worker who had been an integral part of the success of the New Deal at its beginning and by the time of the invasion of France by the Germans in 1940, had become Roosevelt's most trusted advisor. As the war continued, he would become a trusted confidante of not only Winston Churchill but Josef Stalin as well (in the case of the latter, for a fellow human being, politics and ethnicity aside, no mean feat). Being trusted by the Big Three would be a tremendous burden for any number of people and Hopkins did it while being consistently ill with some malady or other, many of them life threatening. The fact that he performed as well as he did speaks volumes for the man's spirit and sense of dedication. His association with Stalin has led more than one person to think Hopkins the head Communist in Roosevelt's administration.
This is an excellent biography of one of the most influential men of the twentieth century, until now, almost forgotten.
