520 $a"FDR was a paraplegic polio who could not stand without braces nor walk without skilled assistance. Yet he was elected President of the United States four times. The public knew that FDR was lame from polio, but they were never told of the true extent of his disability. No press photo was ever published of the president in a wheelchair or in any situation that emphasized his paralysis. Likewise, the Secret Service saw to it that the president was never allowed to appear crippled to the public. To a certain extent the public preferred not to see the degree of his handicap, and Roosevelt refused to admit even to himself the extent of his disability. This was FDR's 'splendid deception'" -- Front jacket flap.
