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"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945 $x Friends and associates. 600 10 $a Hopkins, Harry L. $q (Harry Lloyd), $d 1890-1946. 600 10 $a Perkins, Frances, $d 1880-1965. 600 10 $a Ickes, Harold L. $q (Harold LeClair), $d 1874-1952. 600 10 $a Wallace, Henry A. $q (Henry Agard), $d 1888-1965. 600 17 $a Hopkins, Harry L. $q (Harry Lloyd), $d 1890-1946. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01716508 600 17 $a Ickes, Harold L. $q (Harold LeClair), $d 1874-1952. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00010696 600 17 $a Perkins, Frances, $d 1880-1965. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00003903 600 17 $a Roosevelt, Franklin D. $q (Franklin Delano), $d 1882-1945. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00032031 600 17 $a Wallace, Henry A. $q (Henry Agard), $d 1888-1965. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01717154 648 7 $a 1933-1945 $2 fast 650 0 $a Cabinet officers $z United States. 650 0 $a New Deal, 1933-1939. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $z United States. 650 7 $a HISTORY / United States / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Cabinet officers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00843535 650 7 $a Economic policy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00902025 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a New Deal, 1933-1939. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01036721 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Social conditions. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919811 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1933-1945. 651 0 $a United States $x Social conditions $y 1933-1945. 651 0 $a United States $x Economic policy $y 1933-1945. 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 941 $a 13 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409043845.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240127012442.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230804011013.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20230704012320.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20230617010046.0 952 $l W7PA017 $d 20230616010157.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20230602011651.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230524010425.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20230502010353.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230404020057.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20230404012011.0 952 $l EZPE755 $d 20230317010523.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20230310010743.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B48E1916BF1111ED8AFE88FD4CECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b C@VInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
