The Defining Moment by Jonathan Alter
FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope
A concise narrative of how a newly elected leader confronted the national economic collapse of 1933 by using bold, experimental policies and unprecedented executive action during his first hundred days, reshaping the role of the presidency and restoring public confidence; the book traces the creation and implementation of relief, recovery and reform programs, the political maneuvering and communication strategies that sold them to the public, and the long-term transformation of American government and politics that resulted.
