“We should constantly be reminded of what we owe in return for what we have": No Ordinary Time; Warmly Inscribed by Doris Kearns Goodwin
First edition, early printing of the historian's Pulitzer Prize-winning work. Octavo, original blue boards. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Paul and Eva, With best wishes, Doris Kearns Goodwin." Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Robert Anthony.
No Ordinary Time is a monumental work, a brilliantly conceived chronicle of one of the most vibrant and revolutionary periods in the history of the United States. With an extraordinary collection of details, Goodwin masterfully weaves together a striking number of story lines--Eleanor and Franklin's marriage and remarkable partnership, Eleanor's life as First Lady, and FDR's White House and its impact on America as well as on a world at war. Goodwin effectively melds these details and stories into an unforgettable and intimate portrait of Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt and of the time during which a new, modern America was born.
