Description
A respected New Deal historian evaluates how the challenges of the Great Depression were initially met by the thirty-first president, exploring the ways in which his World War I campaigns and beliefs about volunteerism shaped his failed policies, led to his unsuccessful reelection campaign against FDR, and marked his post-office criticism of big government. 20,000 first printing.
