During that time, he consistently shared his abundant hope and optimism with the American people, explaining that the only thing they had to fear was "fear itself" and that their generation had a "rendezvous with destiny." In The Essential Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the major addresses and messages of the thirty~second president highlight his administration's response to the Great Depression~the landmark initiatives of the New Deal~and to the major events of World War II. In addition to addresses he made as the governor of New York, there are all of Roosevelt's presidential inaugural addresses, many state~of~the~union messages to Congress, political~convention speeches, and fund~raising speeches to aid victims of infantile paralysis, as well as his most important fireside chats, during which he spoke informally to radio listeners throughout the country. Also included are messages he sent to Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito in attempts to prevent the ominous occurrences in Europe and the Pacific from igniting a global war. President Roosevelt's broadcast speeches reached millions of Americans, who learned immediately and in detail about momentous events and such significant New Deal programs as the National Recovery Administration, the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Works Progress Administration, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Immediately after the Japanese attacked U.S. naval forces at Pearl Harbor, the American people heard the president declare that December 7, 1941, was "a date which will live in infamy." Later, over the radio, he announced the results of the Teheran and Yalta conferences, his meetings with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. In The Essential Franklin Delana Roosevelt, you can follow these extraordinary events as they unfold, sharing in Roosevelt's decisions~and optimism~as if you, too, were living through one of the most challenging periods of the country's existence. ~A NOTE ON THE TEXT ~ All selections in Tbe Essential Franklin Delano Roosevelt are complete and unabridged, except for: the fireside chats on reorganization of the judiciary, national defense, and conservation of natural resources; all of the Annual Messages to Congress; the radio addresses to the 1940 Democratic National Convention and announcing an unlimited national emergency; the messages to Congress on the embargo provisions of the Neutrality Act and the progress of the war; the "quarantine" speech in Chicago; and the address on the Yalta Conference. The text has been edited to modernize punctuation and spelling, but Roosevelt's language remains unaltered. The location for the delivery of speeches and broadcast addresses, unless other wise indicated, is Washington, D.C.…
