Summary
Anthony Gregory traces the origins of America's modern law-and-order politics to a surprising source: the New Deal, the crucible of modern liberalism. FDR's tough-on-crime agenda played a crucial role in the New Dealers' reform agenda, which greatly expanded the limits of federal power and fundamentally altered the future of the state.
