History tends to focus on the struggles Franklin Delano Roosevelt faced one by one: World War II, his declining health, and preparing a possible successor. But Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Joseph Lelyveld explores these issues simultaneously and the political and personal pressures Roosevelt faced in the final months of his life. He provides insight into the country’s longest-serving president in his new book, “His Final Battle: The Last Months of Franklin Roosevelt.” 

Joseph Lelyveld will speak at the Carter Center in Atlanta on Wednesday, September 14. More information about the event can be found here
