Summary

[In this volume, the author] concentrates on the turbulent concluding years of Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term. A measure of economic recovery revived political conflict and emboldened FDR"s critics to denounce "that man in the White house. To his left were demagogues - Huey Long, Father Coughlin, and Dr. Townsend. To his right were the champions of the old order - ex-president Herbert Hoover, the American Liberty League, and the august Supreme Court. For a time, the New Deal seemed to lose its momentum. But in 1935 FDR rallied and produced a legislative record even more impressive than the Hundred Days of 1933 - a set of statutes that transformed the social and economic landscape of American life. In 1936 FDR coasted to reelection on a landslide. [In the volume, the author] has his usual touch with ... personalities and draws a warmly sympathetic portrait of Alf M. Landon, the Republican candidate of 1936.--
