BERNARD FAY: ROOSEVELT AND HIS AMERICA [1935].

Description

This is the first Polish edition of a book by French historian and writer Bernard Fay (1893-1978), published in 1935 by the Warsaw-based Swarm Publishing Society. The publication is an analysis of the policies of US President Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) and the social and economic reform program he introduced, known as the New Deal.

Bernard Fay, a professor at the College de France and author of numerous historical works, was a French historian of Franco-American relations, [1] an anti-Masonic polemicist who believed in a worldwide Jewish-Masonic conspiracy ( see Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory ), and a Vichy official during World War II.

In this book, he presents a portrait of Roosevelt as a charismatic leader who undertook a radical overhaul of the American economic system in the face of the Great Depression of the early 1930s. The author analyzes not only the president’s policies, but also the social and cultural conditions of America at that time, trying to bring the Polish reader closer to the mechanisms of governance in the United States.
