Bog beskrivelse
Winner of the 2023 Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold Medal for US History





From the acclaimed author of 1920: The Year of the Six Presidents and 1960: LJB vs JFK vs Nixon—The Epic Campaign that Forged Three Presidencies comes a dazzling panorama of presidential and political personalities, ambitions, plots, and counterplots; racism, anti-Semitism, anti-socialism, and anti-communism, and the landslide referendum on FDR''s New Deal policies in the 1936 presidential election.

Award-winning historian David Pietrusza boldly steers clear of the pat narrative regarding Franklin Roosevelt''s unprecedented 1936 re-election landslide, weaving an enormously more intricate, ever more surprising tale of a polarized nation; of America''s most complex, calculating, and politically successful president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, at the very top of his Machiavellian game; and the unlocking of the puzzle of how our society, our politics, and our parties fitfully reinvented themselves.

With in-depth examinations of rabble-rousing Democratic US Senator Huey Long and his assassination before he was able to challenge FDR in ''36; powerful, but widely hated, newspaper baron William Randolph Hearst, who blasted FDR''s Raw Deal; wildly popular, radical radio commentator Father Coughlin; the steamrolled passage of Social Security and backlash against it; the era''s racism and anti-Semitism; American Socialism and Communism; and a Supreme Court seemingly bent on dismantling the New Deal altogether, Roosevelt Sweeps Nation is a vivid portrait of a dynamic Depression-Era America.

Crafting his account from an impressive and unprecedented collection of primary and secondary sources, Pietrusza has produced an engrossing, original, and authoritative account of an election, a president, and a nation at the crossroads. The nation''s stakes were high . . . and the parallels hauntingly akin to today''s dangerously strife-ridden political and culture wars.
