Few Americans presidents bore witness to as much historic trauma — or as much history, period — as Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The only U.S. president to hold office for three consecutive terms, FDR helped the country weather the Great Depression with the New Deal, and led it unswervingly through the maelstrom of the Second World War. For her part, his legendary First Lady Eleanor weathered, among other things, FDR’s many affairs, which he carried on with alacrity despite being confined to a wheelchair. Witty, wise and scurrilously entertaining, Roger Michell’s Hyde Park on Hudson details one of the last pre-war weekends in 1939, when King George VI and Queen Consort Elizabeth of England (they of The King’s Speech) came calling on the president at his upstate  daisy" Suckley.
