In an intriguing look at a pivotal moment in American history, 1932: FDR, Hoover, and the Dawn of a New America delves into a year that continues to impact our country today. The book follows the struggles of a nation during the depths of the Great Depression, as one in four workers find themselves without a job, families face eviction, and banks falter under the strain of desperate depositors.

Amidst this chaos, the American people are faced with a crucial decision. On one side, we have the incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover, staunch in his belief in small government and a free market economy. On the other side stands Governor Franklin Delano Roosevelt, advocating for government intervention and a sense of national unity to combat the economic crisis.

Author Scott Martelle provides a compelling narrative of this turbulent year, highlighting the challenges brought on by the Dust Bowl, economic hardships, political unrest, and calls for the end of Prohibition. Ultimately, the American people make their voices heard in November, rejecting Republican rule and embracing Roosevelt’s vision for a new America.
