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


by Jonathan Alter   (Author),    Grover Gardner (Narrator)


"In this dramatic and fascinating account, Newsweek columnist Jonathan Alter shows how Franklin Delano Roosevelt used his first one hundred days in office to lift the country from the despair and paralysis of the Great Depression and transform the American presidency. Instead of becoming the dictator so many wanted in those first days, FDR rescued banks, put men to work immediately, and laid the groundwork for his most ambitious achievements, including what eventually became the Social Security Administration."


Lots of interesting things I didn't know about our history at that time.
