Happy Days are Here Again by Steve Neal
Political conventions in years past were more than pep rallies for preselected candidates -- they were suspenseful, no-holds-barred battles for the nomination. In 1932, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the man who would become one of America's most beloved presidents, was far from a shoo-in for the Democratic nomination at the party's convention in Chicago. Using new sources of information, award-winning reporter Steve Neal weaves the compelling story of how FDR finally got the nod along with the personalities of the day who influenced the decision, including Joseph P. Kennedy, Al Smith, Huey Long, and William Randolph Hearst.
Steve Neal is also the author of Dark Horse: A Biography of Wendell L. Willkie, cited by American Heritage magazine as among the most notable books of 1984, and the forthcoming HST: Memories of the Truman Years. He has been political columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times since 1987. He is a graduate of Columbia University's School of Journalism.
