    <![CDATA[&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;The Hundred Days, Franklin Roosevelt’s first fifteen weeks in office, have become the stuff of legend, a mythic yardstick against which every subsequent American president has felt obliged to measure himself. The renowned historian Anthony J. Badger cuts through decades of politicized history to provide a succinct, balanced, and timely reminder that Roosevelt’s accomplishment was above all else an exercise in exceptional political craftsmanship.&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Declaring that Americans had “nothing to fear but fear itself,” Roosevelt entered the White House in 1933 confronting 25 percent unemployment, bank closings, and a nationwide crisis in confidence.From March 9 to June 16, FDR sent Congress a record number of bills, all of which passed easily. From legalizing the sale of beer to providing mortgage relief to millions of Americans, Roosevelt launched the New Deal that conservatives have been working to roll back ever since. Badger emphasizes Roosevelt’s political gifts even as the president and his brain trust of advisers, guided by principles, largely felt their way toward solutions to the nation’s manifold problems. Reintroducing the contingency that marked those fateful days, Badger humanizes Roosevelt and suggests a far more useful yardstick for future presidents: the politics of the possible under the guidance of principle.&lt;/DIV&gt;]]>

    <![CDATA[Mr. Badger's notably successful history is not simply another narrative of the New Deal, nor does the figure of Franklin Roosevelt loom as large in his account as in some others. What he does is to consider important aspects of New Deal activity--in industry, organized labor, agriculture, welfare, and politics--and explores the major problems in interpreting the history of each. The finest survey since William Leuchtenburg's Franklin D. Roosevelt and the New Deal. --Frank Freidel]]>

    <![CDATA[The twelve essays in this book, several published here for the  first time, represent some of Tony Badger's best work in his ongoing  examination of how white liberal southern politicians who came to  prominence in the New Deal and World War II handled the race issue when it  became central to politics in the 1950s and 1960s.<p>Franklin Roosevelt in  the 1930s thought a new generation of southerners would wrestle Congress  back from the conservatives. The Supreme Court thought that responsible  southern leaders would lead their communities to general school  desegretation after the <em>Brown</em> decision. John F. Kennedy believed  that moderate southern leaders would, with government support, facilitate  peaceful racial change. Badger's writings demonstrate how all of these  hopes were misplaced.<p>He shows time and time again that moderates did not  control southern politics. Southern liberal politicians for the most part  were paralyzed by their fear that ordinary southerners were all-too-aroused  by the threat of integration and were reluctant to offer a coherent  alternative to the conservative strategy of resistance.</p></p>]]>

    <![CDATA[In this defining statement about the state of the discipline, a &quot;who's who&quot; of prominent scholars addresses and critiques the entire sweep of American political history. Exemplifying the revitalizing power of the &quot;new political history&quot; and its renewed emphasis on large &quot;P&quot; politics, these writers have combined to produce an illuminating synthesis of the most recent work in the field.  <p>Focusing upon both the major policy issues in the politics of each period (substance) and the major social forces shaping politics (structure), these essays chronicle and evaluate the evolution of American politics and society over two and a quarter centuries. In the process, they reflect their authors' strong collective commitment to a dynamic field of intellectual inquiry, while simultaneously highlighting key interpretive disputes within it.  <p>An outstanding summary of current and recent thinking in the field, this book should become an essential volume for scholars and teachers in both history and the social sciences.</p></p>]]>
