F.D.R.

Perhaps The New Deal and the leader who inspired it has a lot to teach us right now. As presidential historian Michael Beschloss writes Traitor to His Class "deserves a wide audience, especially among those younger Americans who need to be told why we all owe so much to F.D.R." In this time of economic and international turmoil, the president who guided the country through the Depression and World War II has reemerged as a man who is important to the current generation.
