Arthur M. Schlesinger

Volume two of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author’s Age of Roosevelt series describes Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s first tumultuous years in the White House.

Coming into office at the bottom of the Great Depression, FDR told the American people that they have nothing to fear but fear itself. The conventional wisdom having failed, he tried unorthodox remedies to avert economic collapse. His first hundred days restored national morale, and his New Dealers filled Washington with new approaches to recovery and reform. Combining idealistic ends with realistic means, Roosevelt proposed to humanize, redeem, and rescue capitalism. The Coming of the New Deal, written with Schlesinger’s customary verve, is a gripping account of critical years in the history of the republic.

“Monumental…authoritative…spirited…one of the major works in American historical literature.”—New York Times

 
“Impelling, an achievement as much in its sensitivity as in its scholarship…It is essential reading.”—Kirkus Reviews

The Age of Roosevelt

The Coming of the New Deal: The Age of Roosevelt, 1933–1935

In the third volume of his series on Franklin Roosevelt, the Pulitzer Prize–winning historian focuses on the turbulent final years of FDR’s first term.

A measure of economic recovery revived political conflict and emboldened Roosevelt’s critics to denounce “that man in the White house. ” To his left were demagogues—Huey Long, Father Coughlin, and Dr. Townsend. To his right were the champions of the old order—ex-president Herbert Hoover, the American Liberty League, and the august Supreme Court. For a time, the New Deal seemed to lose its momentum. But in 1935 FDR rallied and produced a legislative record even more impressive than the Hundred Days of 1933—a set of statutes that transformed the social and economic landscape of American life. In 1936 FDR coasted to reelection on a landslide. Schlesinger has his usual touch with colorful personalities and draws a warmly sympathetic portrait of Alf M. Landon, the Republican candidate of 1936.

“One of the most important historical enterprises of our time. ”—Saturday Review

“Vividly portrays…the concluding years of Roosevelt’s first term…[and] the sweep and excitement of an era more historically dramatic than most. ”—Time
