Requests:  0 Summary:  This is the story of a political miracle--the perfect match of man and moment. 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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Copy Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Biography B Roosevelt Al   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.91709 Roosevelt Al   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B ROOSEVELT, Franklin Al   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Biography B Roosevelt Al   Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Biography B Roosevelt Al pbk Checked In Add Copy to MyList
