The Defining Moment: Fdr's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope

NY: Simon & Schuster, 2006. 0743246004. 1st Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. ISBN: 0743246004. "Alter addressees the fraught three-odd-months that newly inaugurated President Franklin Roosevelt had to push through an ambitious package of social and financial programs before congressional resistance solidified. Roosevelt was no stranger to a bully pulpit. Roosevelt accepted a broad range of progressive programs that his liberal brain trust put together: unemployment relief, extensive public-works programs, old-age insurance and a program to formulate minimum-wage guidelines and other labor reforms. He withheld 60,000 political patronage jobs customarily shared out to Congress until after the Hundred Days, a most efficient form of keeping legislators in line. Therein lies a key to understanding FDR's character, and his knack for getting what he wanted; the president was a born Machiavellian. FDR kept his own democratic values intact, even as right-wing opponents called him "Stalin Delano Roosevelt.".. A few corners turned down, now righted, one telephone number on rfep, otherwise unmarked, tight, square, and clean. The unclipped ($29.95) dust jacket is in perfect, pristine condition.
