Roosevelt, A Revolutionary With Common Sense

ROSEVELT, A Revolutionary With Common Sense, tells the story of Franklin Roosevelt's rise to power, his handling of the challenges to American society posed by the Great Depression, and the relevance of the New Deal to a world in crisis. The author, a German, suggests that Roosevelt's common sense revolution might serve as a model for his country thrown into turmoil by the collapse of the global capitalist system and facing the rise of Adolf Hitler.
