Before the Trumpet – Young Franklin Roosevelt (1985) by Geoffrey C. Ward (Konecky and Konecky)
Offered by: Crappy Old Books

Before he became the voice of a nation in turmoil, Franklin Delano Roosevelt was just a privileged young man with a long road ahead. In Before the Trumpet, acclaimed historian Geoffrey C. Ward offers a compelling, richly detailed portrait of FDR’s formative years—from his aristocratic upbringing in Hyde Park to the early influences that would shape his political ideals. First published in 1985 and reissued by Konecky and Konecky, this biography digs deep into Roosevelt’s family dynamics, education, and early ambitions, offering rare insights into the making of a future president.

Expect yellowing pages, possibly a coffee ring or two, and that unmistakable "used book" smell. It’s history, but Crappy Old Books style—weathered, well-loved, and worth the read.

Near new condition. Hardback with paper dust jacket.
