Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is "Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Champion of Freedom by Conrad Black. If you were intrigued by the interview with Black, this is his magisteria biography of the man he contends was the most important person of the 20th century. A surprising choice for an arch conservative, but he makes his case very well.”
