During that time, he consistently shared his abundant hope and optimism with the American people, explaining that the only thing they had to fear was "fear itself" and that their generation had a "rendezvous with destiny." In The Essential Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the major addresses and messages of the thirty~second president highlight his administration's response to the Great Depression~the landmark initiatives of the New Deal~and to the major events of World War II. In addition to addresses he made as the governor of New York, there are all of Roosevelt's presidential inaugural addresses, many state~of~the~union messages to Congress, political~convention speeches, and fund~raising speeches to aid victims of infantile paralysis, as well as his most important fireside chats, during which he spoke informally to radio listeners throughout the country. Also included are messages he sent to Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito in attempts to prevent the ominous occurrences in Europe and the Pacific from igniting a global war. President Roosevelt's broadcast speeches reached millions of Americans, who learned immediately and in detail about momentous events and such significant New Deal programs as the National Recovery Administration, the Civilian Conservation Corps, the Works Progress Administration, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Immediately after the Japanese attacked U.S. naval forces at Pearl Harbor, the American people heard the president declare that December 7, 1941, was "a date which will live in infamy." Later, over the radio, he announced the results of the Teheran and Yalta conferences, his meetings with Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin. In The Essential Franklin Delana Roosevelt, you can follow these extraordinary events as they unfold, sharing in Roosevelt's decisions~and optimism~as if you, too, were living through one of the most challenging periods of the country's existence. ~A NOTE ON THE TEXT ~ All selections in Tbe Essential Franklin Delano Roosevelt are complete and unabridged, except for: the fireside chats on reorganization of the judiciary, national defense, and conservation of natural resources; all of the Annual Messages to Congress; the radio addresses to the 1940 Democratic National Convention and announcing an unlimited national emergency; the messages to Congress on the embargo provisions of the Neutrality Act and the progress of the war; the "quarantine" speech in Chicago; and the address on the Yalta Conference. The text has been edited to modernize punctuation and spelling, but Roosevelt's language remains unaltered. The location for the delivery of speeches and broadcast addresses, unless other wise indicated, is Washington, D.C.…

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. Revised Edition. Fine unread condition blue boards with gold spine lettering contained in a fine condition illustrated dust jacket. Includes Introductions for each President by John Gabriel Hunt. Illustrated with black-and-white engraved portraits of each president. "From George Washington's first address in 1789 to the inaugural speech of 1996, the inauguration of a president has been an opportunity for a newly elected leader to set the tone for his upcoming administration - to boldly propose new government policy, to establish national and international goals, and to set forth a core of political beliefs, often through the use of stirring language and memorable phrases. This is an unabridged collection of all the inaugural addresses of every United States president to the present time (to Clinton). The speeches' availability in one place provides an opportunity to compare the leaders' powers of persuasion, personal philosophies, and distinctive use of language - as well as to discover some interesting facts about specific inaugurations. For example, before the Capitol in Washington, D.C. was built, inaugurations were held in New York City and Philadelphia. George Washington's second inaugural address was the shortest; William Henry Harrison, who gave the longest speech, ironically served the least amount of time in office, thirty-one days. Grover Cleveland delivered two inaugural addresses but was the only president to do so at nonconsecutive inaugurations. Many of the presidents used words brilliantly and were charismatic orators. In Thomas Jefferson's two addresses, the mind of a supremely literate and philosophical person is evident. Andrew Jackson's words convey a man of direct action and a relationship forged with the common people. Abraham Lincoln's speeches combine reasoned argument and near-poetic language. Franklin Roosevelt's widely broadcast speeches soothed and reassured a nation beset by economic depression and war, in language straightforward, fatherly, and powerful. Unforgettable phrases from the presidents' addresses resound through the decades, part of American consciousness - from the words of Abraham Lincoln ("With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds.") to those of John F. Kennedy ("And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country"). Accompanying each address in this comprehensive collection is an engraved portrait of the president, as well as a concise and informative introduction. Each introduction includes information about the November election and inaugural ceremonies, as well as an overview of the president's accomplishments. To complete the historical fabric, short essays have also been included for the presidents who, due to the nature of their succession, gave no inaugural addresses - John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Andrew Johnson, Chester A. Arthur, and Gerald Ford. The Inaugural Addresses of the Presidents presents a sweeping survey of American history, and offers a unique record of the great leaders' personal responses to the momentous events of their times." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.…
