FDR took office in 1933 as America touched bottom. Banks were closing, millions of people lost everything--the Great Depression had caused a national breakdown. Journalist Alter brings us closer than ever before to the Roosevelt magic. Facing the gravest crisis since the Civil War, instead of circumventing Congress and becoming the dictator so many thought they needed, FDR used his cagey political instincts and ebullient temperament in the storied first Hundred Days of his presidency to pull off a conjuring act that lifted the country and saved both democracy and capitalism. Alter shows us how a snobbish and apparently lightweight young aristocrat was forged into an incandescent leader by his domineering mother; his independent wife; his eccentric top adviser, Louis Howe; and his ally-turned-bitter-rival, Al Smith.--From publisher description. 000320469 60010 $$aRoosevelt, Franklin D.$$q(Franklin Delano),$$d1882-1945. 000320469 650_0 $$aPresidents$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000320469 650_0 $$aNew Deal, 1933-1939. 000320469 650_0 $$aPresidents$$zUnited States$$xElection$$y1932. 000320469 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xPolitics and government$$y1933-1945. 000320469 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xEconomic policy$$y1933-1945. 000320469 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xSocial conditions$$y1933-1945. 000320469 85200 $$bgen$$hE807$$i.A784$$i2006 000320469 85642 $$3Publisher description$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0640/2006042262-d.html 000320469 85641 $$3Sample text$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0640/2006042262-s.html 000320469 85641 $$3Table of contents only$$uhttp://www.loc.gov/catdir/enhancements/fy0640/2006042262-t.html 000320469 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:320469$$pGLOBAL_SET 000320469 980__ $$aBIB 000320469 980__ $$aBOOK
