Banks were closing everywhere. Millions of people lost everything. The Great Depression had caused a national breakdown. Jonathan Alter brings us closer than ever before to the Roosevelt magic. Facing the gravest crisis since the Civil War, FDR used his cagey political instincts and ebullient temperament in the storied first Hundred Days of his presidency to pull off an astonishing conjuring act that lifted the country and saved both democracy and capitalism." "Who was this man? To revive the nation when it felt so hopeless took an extraordinary display of optimism and self-confidence. Alter shows us how a snobbish and apparently lightweight young aristocrat was forged into an incandescent leader by his domineering mother; his independent wife; his eccentric top adviser, Louis Howe, and his ally-turned-bitter-rival, Al Smith, the Tammany Hall street fighter FDR had to vanquish to complete his preparation for the presidency." "With fresh documentation and colorful detail, this story of presidential leadership - of what government is for - resonates through the events of today. It deepens our understanding of how Franklin Delano Roosevelt restored hope and transformed America."--BOOK JACKET.
