What is The FDR Years (Presidential Profiles) about?
Franklin Delano Roosevelt is widely regarded as the greatest 20th-century U.S. president. He is unique in having been elected to the presidency an unprecedented four times. From 1932, when he began his first term as president, FDR guided the United States through two of its most daunting challenges: the Great Depression and World War II. Battling both required hard work and sacrifice. Despite this, FDR reassured Americans, "all we have to fear is fear itself." In 1945 a nation mourned when FDR died suddenly during his fourth term, but he left a legacy of legislation, such as Social Security and the Tennessee Valley Authority, that is still in effect.The FDR Years is a fact-filled resource written in an accessible A-to-Z format. Biographical entries cover the key personalities connected to the administration; a chronology spans the history of the period; and a sizable appendix includes important documents (such as inaugural addresses and significant presidential speeches) and tables listing the members of the White House staff, cabinet members, members of the House and Senate, and more.
