Party Politics in the Age of Roosevelt
Lexington Books (Verlag)
978-1-7936-3345-3 (ISBN)
Riccards and Flagg examine in detail the development of Franklin Delano Roosevelt from a young politician in Albany to assistant secretary of the Navy to governor of the state of New York. The volume shows how Roosevelt developed his rhetorical skills, his art of manipulation and coalition building, and his incredible bond to the American people through the Depression and World War II. As commander in chief, he mastered the leadership skills that made him a great military leader and a political leader who established himself as a paramount figure using control of the Democratic party. In the process, he solidified the party as a long-lasting coalition that set the United States as a world empire.
Michael P. Riccards is former founding executive director of the Hall Institute of Public Policy. Cheryl A. Flagg is executive assistant to the president of the Council of Graduate Schools.
