"The FDR Years will serve as benchmark and provocation. An absorbing collection of eight essays and an oral-history interview with the author . . . the book covers topics from Roosevelt's relationship with Huey Long to the Tennessee Valley Authority and the New Deal's use of the war metaphor. As a whole, it reacts to the criticisms of the New Deal and its leader made over the past thirty years and anticipates those of the next."
