Roosevelt Sweeps Nation: FDR's 1936 Landslide and the Triumph of the Liberal Ideal is a popular history by David Pietrusza that examines Franklin D. Roosevelt's decisive 1936 re-election campaign and its larger meaning for American politics. Centered on the Great Depression era, the book looks beyond the simple story of a popular incumbent defeating a weak opponent. Instead, it places the election within a wider struggle over the New Deal, economic insecurity, political communication, ideological conflict, and the future shape of the Democratic Party and the American state. Pietrusza presents Roosevelt not only as a successful politician, but as a leader who understood how to build and sustain a coalition during a period of intense social strain. The book also highlights the many forces pressing against Roosevelt from the right and the left, making the election a revealing test of democracy in a polarized moment. It is both an election study and a broad account of Depression-era political transformation.
