| Summary |
"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 Senator Huey Long, labor champion John L. Lewis, and the universally adored aviator Charles A. Lindbergh. FDR and His Enemies reveals the intellectual, moral, and tactical underpinnings of the great debate in which Roosevelt triumphed."--BOOK JACKET. |
