This well-worn copy of “Roosevelt and Hopkins: An Intimate History” by Robert Sherwood offers a unique glimpse into one of the most significant political partnerships of the 20th century. Published just five years after the end of World War II, Sherwood’s Pulitzer Prize-winning biography provides an insider’s perspective on the close relationship between President Franklin D. Roosevelt and his trusted advisor, Harry Hopkins. As a playwright and speechwriter for FDR, Sherwood had an intimate view of the two men’s collaboration during the Great Depression and the war years. This 1950 edition captures the immediate postwar interest in understanding the dynamics that shaped Roosevelt’s groundbreaking New Deal policies and wartime leadership. Despite its visible signs of use, this copy remains a compelling artifact of its era, inviting readers to explore the personal and political bond that helped steer America through some of its most turbulent times.
