Presenting an aspect of American history that has never been fully told, Doris Kearns Goodwin describes how the isolationist and divided United States of 1940 was unified under the extraordinary leadership of Franklin Roosevelt to become, only five years later, the preeminent economic and military power in the world. Using diaries, interviews, and White House records, Goodwin paints an intimate, detailed portrait not only of the presidency during wartime but also Franklin and Eleanor themselves, as well as their friends, advisers, and family. Bringing to bear the tools of both history and biography, No Ordinary Time relates the unique story of how FDR led the nation to victory in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds and, with Eleanor's essential help, forever changed the fabric of American society.

Listen to Doris Kearns Goodwin talk about this book on C-SPAN's Booknotes (10/25/94).

This is an interesting portrayal of the Roosevelts during WW II and before. But this 6 hour selection from an unabridged audiobook of over 30 hours focused too much on the admittedly interesting personal aspects and too little on the policy and strategic decisions of FDR. That was apparently the choice made in the decision to abridge so much. A 12-14 hour version would have been better. That said, it repays listening and Hermann does his usual superb job reading! If you want a short take, this is recommended.

Very good but overly abridged

Brilliant!

Super thorough, well researched and great storytelling. DKG artfully captures the juxtaposition of excellence in the presidency with the turmoil that may have been present behind closed doors - this book highlights FDR’s blind confidence in the face of personal and physical challenges and the loyalty of Eleanor through the tumult that defined their presidency - gives new meaning to the phrase “behind every great man, is an even greater woman.” Different times - non of this fallibility would have remained behind closed doors - in the closing moments of the book, DKG acknowledged that every person is flawed, has fallibility…and it makes you wonder if a reasonable realistic person will ever run for office again - given that all of this fallibility will be on display in the modern era like never before.

More gold from DKG

No Ordinary Time provides a moving and vivid portrayal of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt—focusing on his presidency and their leadership during World War 2. Godwin’s engaging narrative kept me enthralled.

Moving insights on the Roosevelt’s

What a wonderful lady, Eleanor!

The familiar perspective and writing style are engaging. Edward Herrmann is always a magnificent reader (but the quality of the recording is muddy). All in all an absorbing work.

The intimacy of politics
