Together We Cannot Fail: FDR and the American Presidency in Years of Crisis
After a short introductory chapter the book follows FDR's presidential career. The tracks on the CD are recordings of portions of his speeches including several of his fireside chats. Several of the chapters contain quotes that are pertinent to today. In discussing the rise of totalitarian governments during the world depression FDR says "Finally, in desperation, they [the people] chose to sacrifice liberty in the hope of getting something to eat."
Roosevelt brought forth a lot of the 'progressive' programs the GOP wants to eliminate or eviscerate, such as the Fair Labor Standards Act and Social Security. He had to fight hard to get them passed but they brought the US out of the depression. FDR declared "true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence" This was part of his four rights -- right to: a useful and remunerative job, to earn enough to provide adequate food and clothing and recreation; to a decent home; adequate medical care; a good education.
.Perhaps most pertinent to last two decades was his statement during his "Fala" speech in 1944 noting "The whole purpose of Republican oratory these days seems to be to switch labels. Then in his fourth inaugural address he said: "We have learned we cannot live alone, at peace; that our own well-being is dependent on the well-being of other nations far away."
FDR had his flaws but he also led the country during 12 years of crises. The chapters are short and the book is quickly read.
