It is also about power, its increasing concentration in American society, and its implications at home and abroad especially for those who exercise it. It is a book about the Republican Party during the period in which it developed the forces and frictions which still characterize it today. Finally, it is a book about a remarkably successful and vibrant man who contained within himself much of the best and the worst of his environment, who contributed generously to American life, who knew in his time disappointment, temptation, and pain, but also glory; a man remembered most by his intimates for the "fun of him." | Contents note: | The Republican Roosevelt; Roots of conviction; President and party; President and people; President, congress and control; Uses of power; Concerts of power; "...and by opposing end them" | Record link: | https://library.seeu.edu.mk/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=19491 |
