Roosevelt, the 32nd president of the U.S., looms large over the history of the nation and the world. \u003c\/b\u003eServing in office for an unprecedented 12 years, he, along with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, guided the nation through two of the 20th century's most dire crises: The Great Depression and World War II. Elected in 1932, amidst the Great Depression, he launched the New Deal, a series of laws and programs designed to broaden the federal government's authority over the economy and provide Americans with a social safety net. Facing the rise of fascism in Europe and Asia, Roosevelt forged an alliance with the United Kingdom, U.S.S.R., and China that fought a grueling and ultimately victorious war against Germany, Italy, and Japan. Throughout, he held fast to the idea that a government should be responsive to the needs of ordinary people, a vision that he carried into international relations when he promoted the establishment of the United Nations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith a sensitivity to his flaws as well as strengths, \u003ci\u003eFranklin Delano Roosevelt: A Reference Guide to His Life and Works\u003c\/i\u003e probes the people, events, organizations, policies and places that inhabited the orbit of this magnetic and complex personality.
