About this product

Product Information

Now available in paperback, Robert F. Cross' Sailor in the White House remains one of the most interesting and intimate books about Franklin D. Roosevelt. Secret Service agents, family, and old sailing pals share stories about their days on the water with America's greatest seafaring president. The author argues that the skills required to be a good sailor are the same skills that made FDR a successful politician: the ability to alter courses, make compromises, and shift positions as the situation warrants. This perspective on Roosevelt shows how his love of the sea shaped his presidency, and its unique look remains refreshing even today.

Reviews
"Filled with sometimes startling new details, Sailor in the White House offers up a fresh and vivid portrait of Franklin Roosevelt against the backdrop he loved best--the open sea. No one interested in FDR or his era will want to miss it." --Geoffrey C. Ward, author of A First Class Temperament: The Emergence of Franklin Roosevelt, "Filled with sometimes startling new details, Sailor in the White House offers up a fresh and vivid portrait of Franklin Roosevelt against the backdrop he loved best--the open sea. No one interested in FDR or his era will want to miss it." -- Geoffrey C. Ward, author of A First Class Temperament: The Emergence of Franklin Roosevelt, "This delightful book adds a new dimension to our understanding of Franklin D. Roosevelt. As Robert F. Cross persuasively shows, FDR employed the skills of an expert navigator whether as a sailor on blue water or as a statesman leading his nation." Arthur M.
