Roosevelt, a Revolutionary With Common Sense

Roosevelt, a Revolutionary with Common Sense with foreword by Ambassador William E. Dodd, subject of the best selling biography by Erik Larson, In the Garden of Beasts, was first published in Germany in 1934 and can still be found in Roosevelt's Presidential Library in Hyde Park, NY, as well as at the New York Public Library in Manhattan, and others. Written by Dr. Helmut Magers, a well-respected political journalist in Berlin in 1933, the book has been translated by Marianne Farrin and presents an extraordinary perspective on the presidential ambitions of Franklin Delaney Roosevelt by a foreign observer. Uncanny parallels can be drawn to what is happening today. The book includes a letter from FDR to Dr. Magers, as well as three thought-provoking appendixes commenting on the global monetary crisis along with the troubled Nazi nation during that same time period.
