Gary Ginsberg's book about the unelected advisors that shaped our presidents is a fascinating read. The most prominent and revealing of these friends are 'Franklin D. Roosevelt's brain trust: Raymond Moley, James W. Gerard, Rexford Tugwell, Louis Howe, and Adolf A. Berle Jr.' These four men had such a profound impact on FDR (and subsequent presidents) that they became known as FDR's "First Friends". This title was not bestowed upon them by FDR but rather by the public after he died and it has stuck to this day - despite their lack of power or election.

First Friends follows the lives of many influential people in American history that are often overlooked. Through Gary Ginsberg's narration, these characters come to life as Gary's tone is professional and his emotions are perfect for each individual character throughout the book.
