In Roosevelt's Centurions, distinguished historian Joseph E. Persico reveals how, during World War II, Franklin D. Roosevelt seized the levers of wartime power like no president since Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. Taking us inside the Allied war councils, the author reveals how the president brokered strategy with contentious allies, rallied morale on the home front, and handpicked a team of proud, sometimes prickly warriors who, he believed, could fight a global war.
