A irreverent and coruscating critique of FDR's New Deal (or Screw Deal) and of twenty-four prominent New Dealers: the politicians, labor leaders, journalists and academics (including Felix Frankfurter, Harold Ickes, Harry Hopkins, James Roosevelt, Henry Morgenthau, Henry A. Wallace, and Communist Party leader Earl Browder) who were its architects and promoters. Each of the New Dealers is given their own chapter. The author, Morris A. Bealle (1891-1972), was an ardent anti-Communist and a longtime Washington D.C. newspaper reporter and editor.
