Presidents of Mount Rushmore & Multi-rom Pack (Penguin Active Reading Level 2)

From the top of Mount Rushmore, the heads of four U.S. presidents look down on the world below: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. 

In 1932 President Roosevelt promised a New Deal for America. His plans to pull America out of depression led to the creation of many new Government agencies - clearly outlined in this book.
The author describes the New Deal for the unemployed, the farmers, the land, and industry and shows how Roosevelt had to cope with opposition and involvement in the Second World war. A concluding chapter looks at both contemporary and later assessments of roosevelt and his New Deal

While reading this book you get to share in the many personal experiences of Eleanor Roosevelt. She does not focus much on her relationships, rather she focuses on sharing her experiences. The places she has gone to and the people she has talked to are absolutely amazing. She shares her firsthand experiences of the mine workers and her talks with people in communist Russia. It is amazing that just one woman has seen and heard from so many varying perspectives. She really did try to empathize with the people and situations around her and this really comes out in her book.

A Companion to Theodore Roosevelt is the first comprehensive anthology to encompass Roosevelt as whole, highlighting both his personality and his skilled diplomacy.

Here Warren Kimball explores Roosevelt's vision of the postwar world by laying out the nature and development of FDR's "war aims"--his long-range political goals. As the face of eastern Europe and the world changes before our eyes, Roose-velt's goals, dismissed during the Cold War as impractical, seem less unrealistic today.
