This is a very intimate look at the partnerships between Hopkins and Roosevelt forged in the 30s as they waged war on southern Dems and northern Republicans to use infrastructure spending to revive towns, farmland and urban life. Hopkins later served as Roosevelt’s private attache’ to Britain and Russia to help mitigate the ongoing and often contentious relations between Churchill and Stalin; while FDR focuses on domestic industrial issues and broke up fights between his strongly progressive Vice President Henry Wallace and the southern power brokers who hated the New Deal.
