Examines the Lasting Impact of FDR 55 Years Later
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Leuchtenburg, and esteemed historian of the Roosevelt era, examines the profound, lasting impact of Roosevelt's policies on America for many decades following his presidency and how future presidents have operated in Roosevelt's shadow. (The book will need to be revised again due to the Bush plan to privatize Social Security - although FDR's original plan was more modest than the current system, significantly expanded in years after FDR). Roosevelt influence is still great - the greatest of any modern president.
