Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a man who understood the “New Deal” on a personal basis. He had faced a “new deal.” In its description of James Tobin's biography of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the publishing house Simon & Schuster describes FDR's battle with polio and ascension to the presidency as “the most remarkable comeback in the history of American politics.” The book is titled The Man He Became — How FDR Defied Polio To Win The Presidency.
