by Roger Daniels
Hardback
Description
Franklin D. Roosevelt, consensus choice as one of three great presidents, led the American people through the two major crises of modern times.
This volume analyses that leadership in combating the Great Depression; its successor explains how he became the leader of the Free World as well.
The first volume of an epic two-part biography, Franklin D.
Roosevelt: Road to the New Deal, 1882-1939 presents FDR from a privileged Hyde Park childhood through his Depression-era presidency to the ominous buildup to global war.
Roger Daniels revisits the sources and closely examines Roosevelt's own words and deeds to create a twenty-first century analysis of how Roosevelt forged the modern presidency.
Daniels's close analysis yields new insights into the expansion of Roosevelt's economic views; FDR's steady mastery of the complexities of federal administrative practices and possibilities; the ways the press and presidential handlers treated questions surrounding his health; and his genius for channeling the lessons learned from an unprecedented collection of scholars and experts into bold political action.
