| Zusammenfassung: | "Drawing on new materials, Unlikely Heroes constructs an entirely fresh understanding of FDR and his presidency by spotlighting the powerful, equally wounded figures whom he raised up to confront the Depression, then to beat the Axis. Only four people served at the top echelon of President Franklin Roosevelt's Administration from the frightening early months of spring 1933 until he died in April 1945, on the cusp of wartime victory. These lieutenants composed the tough, constrictive, long-term core of government. They built the great institutions being raised against the Depression, implemented the New Deal, and they were pivotal to winning World War II. Yet, in their different ways, each was as wounded as the polio-stricken titan. Harry Hopkins, Harold Ickes, Frances Perkins, and Henry Wallace were also strange outsiders. Up to 1933, none would ever have been considered for high office. Still, each became a world figure, and it would have been exceedingly difficult for Roosevelt to transform the nation without them. By examining the lives of these four, a very different picture emerges of how Americans saved their democracy and rescued civilization overseas. Many of the dangers that they all overcame are troublingly like those America faces today"-- |

Only four people served at the top echelon of President Franklin Roosevelt's Administration from the frightening early months of spring 1933 until he died in April 1945, on the cusp of wartime victory. These lieutenants composed the tough, constrictive, long-term core of government. They built the great institutions being raised against the Depression, implemented the New Deal, and they were pivotal to winning World War II. Yet, in their different ways, each was as wounded as the polio-stricken titan. Harry Hopkins, Harold Ickes, Frances Perkins, and Henry Wallace were also strange outsiders. Up to 1933, none would ever have been considered for high office. Still, each became a world figure, and it would have been exceedingly difficult for Roosevelt to transform the nation without them. By examining the lives of these four, a very different picture emerges of how Americans saved their democracy and rescued civilization overseas. Many of the dangers that they all overcame are troublingly like those America faces today"-- Geschichte 1933-1945 gnd rswk-swf Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 gnd rswk-swf Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf United States / Politics and government / 1933-1945 Roosevelt, Franklin D. / (Franklin Delano) / 1882-1945 / Friends and associates Hopkins, Harry L. / (Harry Lloyd) / 1890-1946 Perkins, Frances / 1880-1965 Ickes, Harold L. / (Harold LeClair) / 1874-1952 Wallace, Henry A. / (Henry Agard) / 1888-1965 Cabinet officers / United States United States / Social conditions / 1933-1945 United States / Economic policy / 1933-1945 New Deal, 1933-1939 World War, 1939-1945 / United States HISTORY / United States / General Roosevelt, Franklin D. / (Franklin Delano) / 1882-1945 Cabinet officers Economic policy Friendship Politics and government Social conditions United States 1933-1945 (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Politik (DE-588)4046514-7 s Zweiter Weltkrieg (DE-588)4079167-1 s Geschichte 1933-1945 z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 978-1-250-27470-0 |
