Happy Days are Here Again: The 1932 Democratic Convention, the Emergence of FDR- - And How America was Changed Forever
New York William Morrow; HarperCollins 2004 0060013761 / 9780060013769 First Edition, First Printing Hard Cover Fine Fine Collectible
x, 371 pp., illus., biblio., index; 24 cm. Tight, clean copy. Stated "First Edition." Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "Political conventions in years past were more than pep rallies for preselected candidates -- they were suspenseful, no-holds-barred battles for the nomination. In 1932, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the man who would become one of America's most beloved presidents, was far from a shoo-in for the Democratic nomination at the party's convention in Chicago. Using new sources of information, award-winning reporter Steve Neal weaves the compelling story of how FDR finally got the nod along with the personalities of the day who influenced the decision, including Joseph P. Kennedy, Al Smith, Huey Long, and William Randolph Hearst. / Steve Neal, a longtime political columnist for the Chicago Sun Times, is the author of ten books, including Harry and Ike: The Partnership That Remade the Postwar World, Dark Horse: A Biography of Wendell L. Willkie, and Eleanor and Harry: The Correspondence of Eleanor Roosevelt and Harry Truman. Mr. Neal died in February 2004." - Publisher.
