FDR and His Enemies

Not since the Civil War was America so divided as it was during Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidency. FDR faced fierce challenges by giant figures of the era. Albert Fried brings out the tremendous drama in Roosevelt's ideological and personal struggle with five influential men: ex-New York governor and presidential candidate Al Smith, the enormously popular "radio priest" Charles E. Coughlin, Louisiana's Senator Huey Long, labor champion John L. Lewis, and the universally adored aviator Charles A. Lindbergh. An enthralling story of a critical period in this century's history, this book reveals the intellectual, moral, and tactical underpinings of a great debate in which Roosevelt always triumphed.Fried, Albert is the author of 'FDR and His Enemies' with ISBN 9780312238278 and ISBN 0312238274.
