Original Sources are the best

I have often heard about the famous fireside chat. This work gives me the opportunity to read the transcripts of some of them. President Roosevelts speeches are of a great deal of interest in the current political environment. While I disagree with a lot of the premises he based his beliefs upon he was indeed a great American President. Had he not possessed the courage to force the increase in armaments production where would we have been once we were dragged into the war ?One also gets to see the corner stone of many of today's programs being built. His arguments that times have changed and political liberty is not enough to ensure the liberty of the common man is at the heart of many arguments of today.Regardless of your political outlook, if you are a history buff you should love this book. You may also wear a highlighter a little thin as I did.
