The portrait of President Roosevelt by Judith Perrignon,
in a book adapted to his audio documentary,
the “Large crossing – Franklin D. Roosevelt, the ally »
“While Donald Trump has just taken an oath, how can we not hear the words of Franklin D. Roosevelt when he entered the White House in March 1933:” We now know that the government of financial circles is as dangerous as a mafia government “?
Whatever the age of speech. It was pronounced when totalitarianism and then war seized a world kneeling by capitalism without control, and built the front line between a protective government and the masters of the economy. He is of which very news.
Donald Trump is not an accident in American history, he embodies the omnipotence of the “business”, of the rich white man and above the laws, all that Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt fought for twelve years. They wrote the most progressive moment in the history of the United States. To dive is to see where political violence is rooted today today. »»

We sometimes imagine what the United States would have been without the 32th President Franklin Delano Roosevelt: a country without social rights. The world would not know the United Nations and Nazi Germany may have won the Second World War. From the financial crisis from 1929 to his death in the aftermath of the war, Roosevelt changed the trajectory of the United States and the world. Like a mirror, these dizzying and exciting pages reveal the other face of a lost America, and tell us an exceptional story – carried by love between Franklin and Eleanor; and by the friendship between Roosevelt and his right arm.
