This volume, covering the years to 1940, has many good chapters even though my reading in the first part of May covered much of the same ground. Burns is frequently non-praising of FDR though he rightly has much good to say of him. The accounts of the 1932, 1936, and 1940 elections are so much fun to read. FDR's second term was really devastated by the Court-packing fight--a fight so unnecessary as it turned out. Much of this book was sheer enjoyment to read. Political history is so much fun to read one can get so caught up in it. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

This book is a portrait of the only man in history to win election to a third and fourth term as president of the United States. The symbol of strength and power to a nation besieged by war and depression, Roosevelt is described as one of the greatest players in the game of politics. This book is one man's view of his many facets. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
