Franklin Delano Roosevelt

By: William D. Pederson

Narrated by: Sean Runnette

Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the only president elected to four terms, expanded presidential powers in a fashion unparalleled in American his­tory. He launched the New Deal; fought off constitutional attacks of his bold legislation by proposing to pack the Supreme Court; greatly expanded the president’s powers in foreign affairs; sent Japanese Americans to relo­cation camps after the bombing at Pearl Harbor; and seized an airplane manufacturing plant as part of his “emergency” powers. While FDR guided America out of the Great Depression and navigated a dangerous world war, he demonstrated that even great leaders can become blinded by success and unchecked power, particularly during times of war and hysteria.

mediocre

was looking to hear more about his leadership style. they just touched on a few points, but the book was dry. the narrator did a fabulous job.

Must of been written by Koch Brothers or Fox News!

Don't waste your time on this opionated misinformation ladden essay. Not only is it dishonest but it misrepresents one of our greatest presidents. Who guided this country through one of the most difficult times in American history. Not unlike our current time.
