Review:

A superb one-volume synthesis of the Roosevelt years....Badger never loses sight of the critical elements of change and continuity that marked the decade.--Dan T. Carter

Extraordinarily well researched, clearly written, and balanced.--James Patterson

An admirable, unique overview and analysis....This is the finest survey since William Leuchtenburg's Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal, which appeared more than a quarter-century ago.--Frank Freidel

Masterfully done...it deserves high marks for its clear and lively prose, sound judgments, and penetrating insights.--Ellis W. Hawley, University of Iowa
