"Jonathan Alter's "The Defining Moment is an extraordinarily vivid account of a remarkable moment in American history. It is also a rich and perceptive examination of how Franklin Roosevelt transformed the presidency. This book should be of interest to everyone who cares about the New Deal, and also to everyone who wants to understand the character of American politics."-- Alan Brinkley, author of "The End of Reform: New Deal Liberalism in Recession and War
