On Aug. 31, 1939, nearing the end of his second and presumably final term in office, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt was working in the Oval Office and contemplating construction of his presidential library and his retirement. But the world changed overnight. The next day German tanks crossed the Polish border, and Britain and France had declared war. FDR found himself being forced to consider a dramatically different scenario.
In "Roosevelt’s Second Act: The Election of 1940 and the Politics of War" (Oxford University Press, 2013), author Richard Moe focuses on FDR’s decision to run a third time, a decision that was far from inevitable. Moe will discuss and sign his book on at noon on Thursday, Nov. 5, in the Mumford Room, sixth floor of the Madison Building, 101 Independence Ave. S.E. This Books & Beyond event is co-sponsored by the Library’s Center for the Book and Manuscript Division. It is free and open to the public; no tickets are required.
