James Srodes
Journalist James Srodes’s On Dupont Circle: Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt and the Progressives Who Shaped Our World (Counterpoint Press, $26.00) is a portrait of the twelve young men and women, who, on the eve of World War I, came together in Washington, D.C.'s tony Dupont Circle neighborhood. They were ambitious for personal and social advancement, and what bound them together was a sheer determination to remake America and the rest of the world in their progressive image. The group of rising stars mixed cocktails, foreign policy, and bed-mates as they set out to remake the world. Srodes is the author of other works on business and politics, including Franklin: The Essential Founding Father, Allen Dulles: Master of Spies, and Dream Maker: The Rise and Fall of John Z. DeLorean.
