Roosevelt's reputation enjoys regular acclaim. In his own time too, Roosevelt was described as a comforting and competent hero who authored the Four Freedoms, wrote the Fair Employment Act, and helped America's "forgotten man" with groundbreaking welfare programs. Indeed, in the twenty-four most respected polls of scholars since 1948, Roosevelt consistently finds a place in the top three "greatest" presidents. And yet, critical thinkers must ask: Are historians wearing rose-colored glasses? Is the father of today's welfare state really worthy of such generous approbation? How much of this glowing reputation is fact, and how much of it fiction? Does he deserve to rank among the greatest presidents America has ever had, next to men like Lincoln and Washington? In The New Deal's War on the Bill of Rights: The Untold Story of FDR's Concentration Camps, Censorship, and Mass Surveillance, historian and distinguished professor emeritus David Beito unveils the many abuses of power and human rights violations that defined Roosevelt's time in office. The New Deal's War on the Bill of Rights offers much-needed sobriety to the historical literature surrounding FDR, bringing the dark side of his administration to light"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a 1.
