Coming Apart: Nothing to Fear

Mass unemployment, widespread hunger, and a mood of fearful pessimism and simmering unrest were Herbert Hoover’s legacy to America’s new chief executive. This ABC News program anchored by Peter Jennings spotlights the early days of Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s presidency, where he scrambled to transform the New Deal from a campaign slogan to nothing short of a social revolution—while staving off attacks by those who viewed him as a dictator and his reforms as a threatening turn to the left. (42 minutes)
