آخرین ۱۰۰ روز: اف‌دی‌آر در جنگ و صلح

**A dramatic portrait of the end of Franklin Roosevelt’s life and presidency, and an unprecedented analysis of his vision for the postwar world**The first 100 days of Franklin Roosevelt’s presidency are justly famous, viewed as a period of political action without equal in American history. Yet as historian David B. Woolner reveals, the end of FDR’s presidency might very well surpass it in drama and consequence.Drawing on new evidence, Woolner shows how FDR used every ounce of his diminishing energy to pursue the things that mattered most to him: the establishment of the United Nations, the reinvigoration of the New Deal, the possibility of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, and some quiet moments with his closest companions. We see a president shorn of the usual distractions of office, a man whose sense of duty and personal responsibility for the fate of the American people, and the world, bore heavily upon him. From his final Christmas at Hyde Park to his death on April 12, 1945, FDR strove to finish the work he had started twelve long years before. A Portrait Of The End Of Fdr's Life Shares Insights Into How He Made His Final Policy Decisions And Pursued What Mattered Most To Him, Including The Establishment Of The United Nations, A Reinvigoration Of The New Deal, And A Jewish Homeland In Palestine.,the First Hundred Days Of Franklin D. Roosevelt's Presidency Are Justly Famous, A Period Of Political Action Without Equal In American History And Still The Standard By Which We Judge Our Presidents. Yet, In This Remarkably Intimate Portrait Of A President Nearing The End, Roosevelt Scholar David B. Woolner Contends That The Last Hundred Days Might Very Well Rival Them In Drama And Consequence. Woolner Takes Us From The Final Christmas In Hyde Park, New York, Where Fdr Received Dispiriting Reports From The Battle Of The Bulge, To His Unexpected Death In Warm Springs, Georgia, On April 12, 1945, When The War In Europe Was All But Over. Though Suffering From Numerous Ailments, Some Diagnosed, Others Not, Fdr Traveled Halfway Around The Globe And Back Again, Presiding Over Pivotal Summits-- Including With Stalin And Churchill At Yalta-- Whose Legacy Are Still Felt Across The World. Throughout, Fdr Called On Every Ounce Of His Diminishing Energy In His Attempts To Establish A Congress Of Nations, Reinvigorate The New Deal, And Bring An End To American Isolationism. As Woolner Argues, Better Than Any Of His Aides Or Foreign Counterparts, Fdr Understood The Crucial Role Of The United States In Shaping The Peace To Come, To The Point That He Contemplated Resigning His Office To Become The First Secretary-general Of The United Nations. The Last 100 Days Ultimately Forces Us To Reckon With Roosevelt's Conviction That The World's Problems Are America's Problems, And To Ask Ourselves If, In The Face Of The Challenges Confronting Us Today, We Will Exhibit The Same Courage To Live Up To Our Responsibilities.--dust Jacket Flaps.
