But the skyrocketing national debt, food rations, crippling taxes, and labor strikes of the time tell a story that is hardly the stuff of recovery. Instead, Roosevelt’s poor judgment and confused management left Congress with a devastating fiscal mess after the final bomb was dropped and ushered in a new era of imperialism for the executive branch. In this provocative book, Burton W. Folsom and Anita Folsom make a stunning case that will force America to take a second look at one of its most complicated presidents.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781439183243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Threshold Editions","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40944899752142,"sku":"9781439183243","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/O_d241382b-2808-43ca-b028-41231b354fe1.jpg?v=1646054351","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781439183243","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
