This second volume of Morris' Roosevelt biography is a satisfying deep dive into the two presidential terms; it manages to be incredibly detailed, easy to read, and full of interesting points and details, altho in some ways it is light on overall analysis.
This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.
