Books by David M. Kennedy
“In Freedom from Fear, Kennedy condenses—into one very large volume—the story of how Roosevelt brought the country out of the Great Depression and into World War II. He begins in the Hoover years and explores some of the structural problems with the economy.

And he carries you all the way through World War II and the early years of the Cold War that immediately followed.” Read more...
