Foreword by Michael Kazin. 268 pages. paperback. keywords: History America FDR Fireside Chats. DESCRIPTION - Beginning with FDR's closing of all of America's banks two days after his inauguration The Fireside Conversations cover the dark days of the 1930s and culminate with FDR's 'Economic Bill of Rights' just before he died. With a preface by bestselling historian Michael Kazin, who highlights the economic situation and populist politics both then and now, and an introduction by leading historian Lawrence Levine which reveals how the new media of radio brought the White House to Americans (echoing the Internet now), the bulk of the book presents a fascinating and previously unexplored range of letters from Americans to FDR. Prompted by the Fireside Chat where FDR invited Americans to 'tell me your troubles,'letter-writers range from the young to the old, men to women, from the President of Wells Fargo to homeless black sharecroppers, from the crippled and destitute to oil executives, from staunch Republicans to ardent Socialists (with many Democrats inbetween). Along with the short and readable introductions to each of FDR's addresses by the Levines, The Fireside Conversations offers not only a survey of the Great Depression and the New Deal but an insight on popular opinion and political will in America's last disastrous economic times. inventory #12195.

Paperback. Condizione: New. 'My friends, I want to talk for a few minutes with the people of the United States about banking.' So began the first of Franklin D. Roosevelt's famous Fireside Chats, which came on the heels of his decision, two days after his inauguration, to close all American banks. During this address, Roosevelt used the intimacy of radio to share his hopes and plans directly with the people. He concluded by encouraging Americans to 'tell me your troubles.' Roosevelt's invitation was unprecedented, and the enormous public response it elicited signaled the advent of a new relationship between Americans and their president. In this indispensable book, Lawrence W. Levine and Cornelia R. Levine illuminate the period from 1933 to 1938 by setting each of the Fireside Chats in context and reprinting a moving selection of the letters that poured into Washington from an extraordinary variety of ordinary Americans. In his foreword, Michael Kazin examines the achievements and limits of the New Deal and the reasons that FDR remains, for many Americans, the exemplar of a good president.He also highlights the similarities of the 1930s to our era, with its deep recession and a new progressive administration in the White House.
