Download Franklin Delano Roosevelt AudioBook Free
Roosevelt's presidency was one of the very most eventful in U.S. history. He took office in the midst of monetary crisis: the stock market had crashed and an incredible number of Americans were unemployed. He demonstrated an optimism and resolve that garnered quick support for his administration as well as for the programs that he called the New Deal. The first president truly to understand the power of the new media, Roosevelt rallied the nation through "fireside chats" on the radio and speeches on movie house newsreels. He was elected to the unprecedented four conditions in office and helped the United States become the most influential world power. His accomplishments in leading the nation through depression and world war resonate today.
