Roosevelt's Second Act

Richard Moe

Filling a gap in presidential history, Roosevelt's Second Act uncovers in complex detail what lay behind Roosevelt's decision to stand for an unprecedented third term, and examines the multiplicity of conflicting forces at work on him. Compressing the narrative into a short time span, mainly the years 1939-40, this work focuses heavily on the interplay of dramatic events and fascinating characters, with FDR always at center stage.
