The sequel to Roosevelt - The Lion And The Fox. Burns notes that...Roosevelt as as war leader was a deeply divided man - divided between the man of principle, of ideals, of faith...and...the man of Realpolitik, of prudence, of narrow, manageable, short-run goals, always intent on protecting his power and authority in a world of shifting moods and capricious fortune. This dualism cleft not only Roosevelt but also his advisors...And it divided the American people themselves, who were vacillating between the evangelical moods of idealism, sentimentalism and utopianism of one era and older traditions of national self-regard protectiveness and prudence of another.
