Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Robert H. Jackson was one of the giants of the Roosevelt era: an Attorney General, a still revered Supreme Court Justice and, not least important, one of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's close friends and advisers. His intimate memoir of FDR, written in the early 1950s before Jackson's untimely death, has remained unpublished for fifty years. Here is that newly discovered memoir. Written with skill and grace, this is truly a unique account of the personality, conduct, greatness of character, and common humanity of "that man in the White House," as outraged conservatives called FDR. Jackson simply but eloquently provides an insider's view of Roosevelt's presidency, including such crucial events as FDR's Court-packing plan, his battles with corporate America, his decision to seek a third term, and his bold move to aid Britain in 1940 with American destroyers. He also offers an intimate personal portrait of Roosevelt--on fishing trips, in late-night poker games, or approving legislation while eating breakfast in bed, where he routinely began his workday. We meet a president who is far-sighted but nimble in attacking the problems at hand; principled but flexible; charismatic and popular but unafraid to pick fights, take stands, and when necessary, make enemies. That Man is not simply a valuable historical document, but an engaging and insightful look at one of the most remarkable men in American history. In reading this memoir, we gain not only a new appreciation for Roosevelt, but also admiration for Jackson, who emerges as both a public servant of great integrity and skill and a wry, shrewd, and fair-minded observer of politics at the highest level. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Inscription reads: For Philip, with best regards, John Q. Barrett 111/24/2003. John Q. Barrett is a Professor of Law at St. John's University in New York City, where he teaches Constitutional Law, Criminal Procedure, and Legal History. Professor Barrett also is the Elizabeth S. Lenna Fellow and a Board member at the Robert H. Jackson Center in Jamestown, New York. He is a graduate of Georgetown University and Harvard Law School. Professor Barrett discovered and edited Jackson's previously unknown manuscript, now an acclaimed book, That Man: An Insider's Portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt (Oxford University Press). That Man, an eloquent memoir of FDR from Jackson first meeting him in 1911 through their close working relationship and friendship during the New Deal years, and World War II, is both FDR biography and Jackson autobiography. Before joining the St. John's faculty, John Q. Barrett was Counselor to Inspector General Michael R. Bromwich, U.S. Department of Justice, from 1994-95. From 1988-93, Barrett was Associate Counsel in the Office of Independent Counsel Lawrence E. Walsh (Iran/Contra). From 1986-88, Barrett was a law clerk to Judge A. Leon Higginbotham, Jr., of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. William Edward Leuchtenburg (born 1922) is the William Rand Kenan Jr. professor emeritus of history at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.[3] He is a leading scholar of the life and career of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Derived from a Kirkus review: Intelligent, informed thoughts on FDR's presidency by a close associate: Solicitor General, Attorney General, and finally Supreme Court Justice Jackson (1892-1954). Written in the early 1950s but only recently discovered by editor Barrett among Jackson's personal papers, the manuscript considers FDR in separate chapters as a politician, lawyer, commander-in-chief, administrator, economist, leader, and friend. Although the text has a finished quality, it also has the brevity of quick notes jotted down with examples of Roosevelt's strengths and weaknesses in each department. Jackson promises readers the "testimony of an interested witness" and takes seasoned measure of a man. What the author saw was a self-confident gentleman, brimming with intellectual capital, informal but dignified, capable of being mercurial and of trespassing on legislative turf, as when he tried to remove policymakers outside executive agencies. Jackson unveils episodes of step-by-step policy formation, as when the administration exchanged destroyers for naval and air stations in the Atlantic, bypassing Congressional approval. He also points out, again with examples, Roosevelt's shortcomings: FDR was "impatient of the slow and exacting judicial process" and Jackson remarks that, for someone who effected radical changes on the economic landscape, his friend's vision "did not impress me as being grounded in economic theory or practice." Rather, FDR made his decisions based on political judgment and social philosophy, which he was able to communicate to the man on the street. Jackson writes smoothly and manages to compress many angles of complex material into a brief text. This is an intimate look into the way decisions were made brings Roosevelt very much into human focus.
