Amos Kiewe tells the story of the First Fireside Chat, the context in which it was constructed, the events leading to the radio address, and the impact it had on the American people and the nation's economy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRoosevelt told America, \"The success of our whole national program depends, of course, on the cooperation of the public--on its intelligent support and its use of a reliable system.\" Kiewe succinctly demonstrates how the rhetoric of the soon-to-be-famous First Fireside Chat laid the groundwork for that support and the recovery of American capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Amos Kiewe\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1585446076\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781585446070\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Texas A\u0026amp;M University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/10\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 166\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.61h x 5.60w x 0.49d","brand":"Amos Kiewe","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065721893119,"sku":"9781585446070","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92a3f564-2c92-4717-a6d5-c186a7bd230d.jpg?v=1768676824","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fdrs-first-fireside-chat-amos-kiewe-9781585446070","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
