Roosevelt Riddles

by Russell Moore, Russell Moore Arundel

This book by Russell Moore Arundel was published under the pseudonym, Russell Moore. This book purports to be a series of questions and factual answers about (Franklin Delano Roosevelt) FDR's presidency and programs which (the author proposed) could be used for or against them. The sources of the claimed factual answers are not always given-- but give an idea of sore spots between the presidency and opponents. It was my impression that the "riddles" which intrigued the author most hinged on an idea that Franklin Roosevelt's actions where above the law, a hardship on taxpaying businessmen, and that his programs were wasteful, inefficient, or useless. This book appears to be grist for historians who wish to study The New Deal, its opponents, its conflicts, and some questions which it engendered. The quotation facing the title page comes from the Congressional Record-- a ploy of raising discord by quoting allies of Roosevelt, perhaps?
