A dedicated Democrat, he was ready to attack Franklin D. Roosevelt whenever he felt that Roosevelt was flagging in his enthusiasm for reform. He was honest to the point of rudeness, and he belonged to the \"damn the torpedoes\" class that pulled ahead regardless of political consequences.He was at home with the literate-he was a prodigious writer and speaker-but always ready to puncture their pretensions. And he could cuss with sailors, pecan shellers, and any breed of saloon keeper. Put all that together with a short, stocky, bulldog frame, a fierce face and a voice to match, and you have one of the nation's more colorful political figures.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51735197942048,"sku":"NEW0292734689","price":45.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61tTmMQ3zBL.jpg?v=1779479701","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/maury-maverick-a-political-biography-0292734689","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
