Greatest Speeches of the 20th Century: Franklin D. Roosevelt

Product Description

A sudden and devastating stock market crash on October 29, 1929, ushered in a deep and prolonged economic depression in the United States. The overwhelming fear and despair of the time was tempered by the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had a rare ability to inspire others to accomplish seemingly insurmountable tasks. Through his “fireside chats,” Roosevelt honestly communicated the brutal realities that the country faced and laid out his plans to get the United States back on its feet. Students will understand how Roosevelt gave Americans a glimmer of hope during this difficult time by declaring that the only thing they had to fear was fear itself.

Part of the multivolume Greatest Speeches of the 20th Century: Voices in Time Series.
