Published before the United States entered World War II, the content largely concerns Roosevelt's New Deal and his work to bring America out of the Great Depression, with problems such as Supreme Court challenges along the way. Bound in blue boards with printed labels, each volume contains a different photograph of President Roosevelt as frontispiece. Some light toning and foxing to each volume, and with previous owner's private bookplate to front pastedowns.
