Good copy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA landmark work of American political history, The Age of Roosevelt: The Crisis of the Old Order, 1919–1933 chronicles the turbulent years between the end of World War I and the dawn of the New Deal, tracing the collapse of the conservative establishment that had long dominated American economic and political life. Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr. presents a sweeping narrative of the forces — industrial greed, political complacency, and systemic inequality — that converged to produce the catastrophic Great Depression. Written with the narrative verve and intellectual rigor that defined Schlesinger's career, the account illuminates the failures of Republican leadership under Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover, arguing that their laissez-faire orthodoxy made national crisis all but inevitable. Rich in character portraits and archival detail, it sets the stage for Franklin D. Roosevelt's transformative presidency by illustrating just how thoroughly the old order had discredited itself. This first volume of Schlesinger's celebrated trilogy remains an essential and authoritative text for anyone seeking to understand the political and economic upheavals that reshaped twentieth-century America.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48820244414683,"sku":"2026200006581-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/adb6226a-21dc-4d35-981a-249c4f5caa23.png?v=1780055496","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200006581-secondhand-the-age-of-roosevelt-the-crisis-of-the-old-order-1919-1933","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
