FDR, Dewey, and the Election of 1944 ReviewCan a book about a 60-some year old election be a real "page turner"? It sure can. David Jordan has produced a book that is highly readable, very well researched, beautifully organized, and full of fascinating but little known facts. Even the extensive footnotes are interesting in and of themselves. The author presents the main issures of the war-time campaign - the democrats' "don't change horses in mid stream" versus the republicans' "twelve years is too long" within the context of the back-room haggling and public speeches that led to the nominations and election campaigns of both FDR and Dewey, as well as the democrats' struggle and in-fighting that led to the nomination of Harry S. Truman for vice president. Some surprises for me were the amount of cover-up of FDR's medical condition, and also the role of that 'progressive' republican, Wendell Wilkie. Full of anecdotes of the forties (baseball, movies, etc) and good-natured but thorough descriptions of the principal players, this book was a delight to read. The photos were interesting and illuminating, and the book cover inspired. I recommend this book to anyone interested in politics, history, recent american culture, and/or the presidency.
