Description
Not since the Civil War was America so divided as it was during Franklin D Roosevelt's presidency. FDR faced fierce challenges by giant figures of the era. Albert Fried brings out the tremendous drama in Roosevelt's ideological and personal struggle with five influential men: ex-New York governor and presidential candidate Al Smith, the enormously popular "radio priest" Charles E Coughlin, Louisiana's Senator Huey Long, labour champion John L Lewis and the universally adored aviator Charles A Lindbergh. An enthralling story of a critical period in this century's history, this book reveals the intellectual, moral and tactical underpinnings of a great debate in which Roosevelt always triumphed.
