THE MAKING OF FDR: THE STORY OF STEPHEN T. EARLY, AMERICA'S
FIRST MODERN PRESS SECRETARY tells of one of the most influential men in
mid-20th-century America--the press secretary who got Roosevelt's
image and message out to the press, helping shape his image and programs
during the Depression and World War II. More than just another FDR
biography, this highlights the actions and approaches of the
behind-the-scenes man who helped not only publicize FDR, but furthered
programs that were to change America. Any high school to college-level
history holding needs this.
