About this audiobook
The man who saved the lives of his PT-109 crewmen during WWII and became the 35th US president fought — and won — his first battle at the age of two-and-a-half, when he was stricken with scarlet fever. Although his presidency was cut short, our nation's youngest elected leader left an indelible mark on the American consciousness and now is profiled in our Who Was...? series.
