This book argues that Franklin D. Roosevelt's work-of which the New
Deal was a prime example-was rooted in a definitive political
ideology tied to the ideals of the Progressive movement and the
social gospel of the late 19th century. Roosevelt's New Deal
resulted in such dramatic changes within the United States that it
merits the label "revolutionary" and ranks with the work of
Washington and Lincoln in its influence on the American nation. The
New Deal was not simply the response to a severe economic crisis;
it was also an expression of FDR's well-developed political
ideology stemming from his religious ideas and his experience in
the Progressive movement of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson.
Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Third American Revolution describes
the unfolding of his New Deal response to the crisis of the
Depression and chronicles the bitter conservative opposition that
resisted every step in the Roosevelt revolution. The author's
analysis of Roosevelt's political thought is supported by FDR's own
words contained in the key documents and various speeches of his
political career. This book also documents FDR's recognition of the
dangers to democracy from unresponsive government and identifies
his specific motivations to provide for the general welfare.
Provides a chronology of FDR's career Contains photographs of FDR
and New Deal moments as well as edited versions of FDR's documents
and speeches Includes a bibliography of works and documents cited
