 Extortionist August 27, 2010
Jr Altfeld (Burbank, California USA)
This is one of the most disturbing history books I have ever read. I have often wondered, how could the people have supported the failings of FDRs policies? How could they have voted in MORE democrats in the interim election of 1934 and then hand FDR a mandate by overwhelmingly voting him back into office in 1936? Were they that stupid or were they just duped. Turns out they were just bought. FDR was the King of Extortion and used it every chance he could. If this book does not open your eyes to what really went on during The Great Depression, nothing will. Here is the man our alleged learned historians rank second only to Lincoln shown in the light of day. This book isn't a good read, it's a DAMN GOOD READ!
Raw deal? Yes! August 17, 2010

If you are not a ChiCom, didn't grow up in Havana or Stalingrad and are not drinking the kool-ade, you will learn lots of facts, yes facts, that the odious Leftists do not want you to hear about. Poor FDR...born with a silver something in his mouth and he thinks one answer to unemployment in the thirties is a 99.5% tax on all incomes over $5,000. And even better, a 100& tax on all undistributed profits by any company or corporation of any size. Leave it to those peck and sniff Progressives to come up with the very best ways to shoot themselves in the foot and to create misery, starvation, death and incest for everyone else.
The book is great but it will make you mad.
A Must Read August 15, 2010
Betty Delaney (Hoschton, GA United States)
This book was a great learning experience. I had read biographies about FDR before but this was and indepth view of his personality and how his need for control and thurst for power influenced his every decision during his presidency. The common saying today of "my way on no way" explains it all. It's amazing how many of Roosavelt's programs are still in effect today and how much the new laws and programs seem to pick up where he left off.
In order to really understand many of the confusing political programs and ideas being put forth today and the manipulation by the congress and house, this is a must read.
Burt Folsom Masterpiece August 12, 2010
D. Bollinger (Greenville, SC)
AS mentioned in an earlier review of Burt Folsom (The Myth of the Robber Barons), I am a big fan of Professor Folsom. This book took ten years to write and it will have a growing impact for years to come. Every member of Congress and every history teacher should have to read this and learn from the well-documented writing contained therein. Buy a copy and give it to a liberal friend for the holidays!
