You have in your hands
;hat should make a pretty
;good Christmas gift to
someone who is intensely,
or even just mildly, inter-
ested in 20th-Century
history.
It is not a history out of
the books, with the author
having the luxury of time to
assess an event and put it
into perspective. It is a his-
tory out of newspapers-,
written by United Press
and Associated Press repor-
ters and editors working
under the pressures of
deadlines.
Thus, it is something for
someone who likes to see
what people were thinking
about in the aftermath of
some of those great, history-
changing events of the past;
who wants to relive these
events, even if vicariously;
or who would like to see
what his or her parents or
grandparents lived through.
What you have is a
reprint of the Reporter
issues that reported these
momentous events: FDR
