Items related to Franklin D. Roosevelt: Launching the New Deal
Launching the New Deal continues Frank Freidel's definitive biography of Franklin D. Roosevelt. In this fourth volume, Freidel follows Roosevelt from election night 1932 through the first summer of the New Deal. The author documents Roosevelt's political skill and shows how his buoyant personality helped to revitalize the presidency and arouse the enthusiasm of a dispirited American public. Launching the New Deal is a worthy addition to the series about which fellow historian Oscar Handlin has said, "It will undoubtedly by a definitive biography and should interest all those concerned with the man and the events he helped to shape."

From the Back Cover:
The best single-volume biography of our greatest twentieth-century present Franklin D. Roosevelt.
From Library Journal:
One volume has been too small a vessel for most FDR biographers. Five multivolume projects are on the shelves, while only three recent works of significance measure Roosevelt's entire life in a single book. The latest is Freidel's, whose Franklin D. Roosevelt (1952-73), even in four volumes, doesn't go past 1933. The graceful narrative of that magnum opus is absent in the author's new work, which is not so much a true biography as a distillation of the mass of Roosevelt scholarship. Freidel's new life concentrates on Roosevelt's presidency, with public events the consistent focus, and the private man left mainly alone. What results is the most authoritative of the one-volume works; but Nathan Miller's FDR ( LJ 1/1/83) will often be the best choice for nonacademic readers, and Ted Morgan's FDR ( LJ 11/1/85) is also available. For all college and many public libraries.
