Schlesinger Jr. chronicles the dramatic collapse of the old political and economic order that defined the United States from the end of World War I through the catastrophic onset of the Great Depression. The Crisis of the Old Order 1919–33 — the first volume of the monumental The Age of Roosevelt series — details the forces of greed, complacency, and institutional failure that brought the most powerful nation on earth to its knees, setting the stage for the extraordinary rise of Franklin D. Roosevelt.\n\nSchlesinger writes with the precision of a scholar and the narrative drive of a master storyteller, weaving together political intrigue, economic catastrophe, and the human cost of systemic collapse into a sweeping historical portrait. A Pulitzer Prize-winning historian, he argues with compelling authority that the democratic process itself was on trial during these years — and that only bold, adaptive leadership could prevent its ruin. Paired with the second volume, The Coming of the New Deal, this set stands as one of the defining works of 20th-century American historiography, leaving the reader to wonder how fragile the foundations of democracy truly are.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130503241947,"sku":"2026100008077-SECONDHAND","price":120.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/23fb7897-8a5c-4190-b3e3-1b49dd103515.png?v=1786586216","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100008077-secondhand-the-age-of-roosevelt","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
