Description
An entire generation of Americans grew up knowing no other president than Franklin Roosevelt, who served four terms and led them through the Depression and World War II. Pulitzer Prize winning FDR biographer David Kennedy gives a spellbinding account of this ebullient man of constant cheer who crafted the New Deal and the social security system. Kennedy and political scientist Sid Milkis spoke about FDR at a conference held by the Center for American Studies at Christopher Newport University.
