'It is extraordinarily difficult to write a good capsule overview of FDR, and Polenberg does an outstanding job ... The essay is crisp, clear, and to the point, yet nuanced at the same time.' - Allan M. Winkler, Miami University 'Polenberg has gathered a rich collection of documents that both reflect Roosevelt's contribution to the legislation and politics of the 1930s while simultaneously situating FDR within the political, social and cultural forces of the era.' - Nan Elizabeth Woodruff, Pennsylvania State University
