The Second Most Powerful Man in the World: The Life of Admiral William D. Leahy, Roosevelt's Chief of Staff

Price advertised was £12 for a used hardback, I thought they would slap on a huge shipping bill.They did not do so, shipping included in the price.Arrived fast and in good condition.Interesting read.

What's the fuss? Of course Roosevelt needed someone like Leahy. He chose well, and got lucky.The great luck is that there were so many other competent leaders in the mix that someone like Leahy could actually be made available. My initial overall reason for reading this book is to get another sideways view of Roosevelt. Itdoes not disappoint.
