This book is an uncommon portrait of Roosevelt's presidency, in words, photographs, and his own voice. For 12 tumultuous presidential years, Roosevelt regularly spoke to the American people, this man of wealth and privilege giving voice to the downtrodden's American Dream. The first in a long line of media presidencies, Roosevelt's innate ability to connect with the people remains the standard by which even the best of them -- Kennedy, Reagan, and Obama alike -- are judged. Roosevelt's words would define a remarkable presidency that faced and overcame the country's worst economic crisis and a war to end all wars. Together We Cannot Fail brings the president and his era to life like no other biography, combining the insight of noted historian Terry Golway with Roosevelt's own voice in audio excerpts from his most memorable speeches and chats. Hear FDR speak to the nation in 30 famous speeches on an exclusive audio CD. - Back cover.
