Book excerpt: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself--nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance. In every dark hour of our national life a leadership of frankness and vigor has met with that understanding and support of the people themselves which is essential to victory. I am convinced that you will again give that support to leadership in these critical days." --FDR, from his First Inaugural Address Franklin Delano Roosevelt followed in the footsteps of the political career blazed by his cousin (and uncle by marriage), President Theodore Roosevelt.

Book excerpt: FRAN ROOSEVELT An Informal Biography BY ALDEN HATCH NEW YORK HENRY HOLT AND COMPANY . Foreword THIS is a portrait of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a full length portrait drawn to scale but necessarily impressionistic. It is not a photo graph least of all is it a definitive biography. There is no attempt to weigh or measure, or to assess the effect of his actions in the light of history. The great historic events are described, not objectively, but as they may have looked to him in the heat of action or in his hardily bought moments of contemplation. But, though the method of approach might be called novelized biography, it is based on the most exhaustive research possible at this time. The facts are absolutely accurate, the conversations, except in the earlier part of the book, are generally verbatim reports. In the case of the thoughts attributed to President Roosevelt the interpretation is based upon his public speeches, private letters, and intimate conversations. Often a man talking casually with a close friend will disclose more of what is in his mind by emphasis or expression than by the words themselves. In my talks with the Presidents intimates, I have tried very hard to get their impression of what he was thinking the feeling as well as the substance of a particular conversation. For instance, when the President ordered the Tuscaloosa to return to Washington on receipt of the news of the Russo-German pact in August, 1939, Admiral Mclntire is convinced that he had accepted for the first time the probability that the United States would have to enter the approaching European war if the democratic way of life were to be saved. Roosevelt did not make the absolute statement, but he implied it so strongly by what he did say, and by his attitude, that it becomes a reasonable assumption, I checked this opinion with a number of Roosevelts other advisers of that period, my question being When do you think that the President decided that the REWORD 0nijfed SMte5lwp df jy Mfjly have to enter the war In every case tliereply fixed tfie time witliin a few weeks of that day. This ip qfi has been followed in all the other attempts to probe the wordings of the Presidents mind, and while there is a wide pos sibility of error in particular instances, I believe that the over-all picture of the man is more true to life than a coldly objective state ment of provable fact could possibly be. In gathering the impressions on which this portrait is based, I have had the enthusiastic cooperation of many men and women who took time from their vastly important tasks to help me in the work of presenting a description of the man they either loved devot edly or hated passionately according to their creeds. Mrs. Roosevelt was most helpful first at the White House in the last glorious days and then in the time of grief that followed. She personally read considerable portions of the manuscript which con cerned her most intimately. James Roosevelt read the entire manu script and checked it for matters of fact. Others who contributed information and personal impressions were The President of the United States, Harry S. Truman Fleet Admiral William D. Leahy, Vice-Admiral Ross T. McIntire, Stephen P. Early, Judge Samuel I. Rosenman, Irita Van Doren, Mrs. J. M. Helm, Miss Laura Delano, Miss Margaret Suckley, Franklin D.

Book excerpt: A revealing portrait of the end of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's life and presidency, shedding new light on how he made his momentous final policy decisions The first hundred days of FDR's presidency are justly famous, often viewed as a period of political action without equal in American history. Yet as historian David B. Woolner reveals, the last hundred might very well surpass them in drama and consequence. Drawing on new evidence, Woolner shows how FDR called on every ounce of his diminishing energy to pursue what mattered most to him: the establishment of the United Nations, the reinvigoration of the New Deal, and the possibility of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. We see a president shorn of the usual distractions of office, a man whose sense of personal responsibility for the American people bore heavily upon him. As Woolner argues, even in declining health FDR displayed remarkable political talent and foresight as he focused his energies on shaping the peace to come.
Download or read book A President in Our Midst written by Kaye Lanning Minchew and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2017-06-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Franklin Delano Roosevelt visited Georgia forty-one times between 1924 and 1945. This rich gathering of photographs and remembrances documents the vital role of Georgia’s people and places in FDR’s rise from his position as a despairing politician daunted by disease to his role as a revered leader who guided the country through its worst depression and a world war. A native New Yorker, FDR called Georgia his “other state.” Seeking relief from the devastating effects of polio, he was first drawn there by the reputed healing powers of the waters at Warm Springs. FDR immediately took to Georgia, and the attraction was mutual. Nearly two hundred photos show him working and convalescing at the Little White House, addressing crowds, sparring with reporters, visiting fellow polio patients, and touring the countryside. Quotes by Georgians from a variety of backgrounds hint at the countless lives he touched during his time in the state. In Georgia, away from the limelight, FDR became skilled at projecting strength while masking polio’s symptoms. Georgia was also his social laboratory, where he floated new ideas to the press and populace and tested economic recovery projects that were later rolled out nationally. Most important, FDR learned to love and respect common Americans—beginning with the farmers, teachers, maids, railroad workers, and others he met in Georgia.
