<P><EM>The New Deal and American Society, 1933-1941</EM> explores what some have labeled the third American revolution, in one concise and accessible volume. </P><P>This book examines the emergence of modern America, beginning with the 100 Days legislation in 1933 through to the second New Deal era that began in 1935. This revolutionary period introduced sweeping social and economic legislation designed to provide the American people with a sense of hope while at the same time creating regulations designed to safeguard against future depressions. It was not without critics or failures, but even these proved significant in the ongoing discussions concerning the idea of federal power, social inclusion, and civil rights. Uncertainties concerning aggressive, nationalistic states like Italy, Germany, and Japan shifted the focus of FDR''s administration, but the events of World War II solidified the ideas and policies begun during the 1930s, especially as they related to the welfare state.
