"Paul M. Sparrow's Awakening the Spirit of American brilliantly recounts how President Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated the "America First" isolationists in the late 1930's and early 1940's. Roosevelt, a true avatar of democracy writ large, knew how dangerous an opponent Charles Lindbergh--an all-season American hero because of his 1927 Trans-Atlantic flight--was in a world ripped with fascism on the rise. In today's troubled times, with authoritarianism escalating at home and abroad, Sparrow's book reads like an all-hands-on-deck wakeup call. Highly recommended!", Democracy is a fragile thing, as today's headlines make clear. Awakening the Spirit of America , Paul M. Sparrow's vivid, blow-by-blow account of the fateful struggle between a great president and a fatally flawed national hero, shows how grateful we should be for Franklin Roosevelt's canniness and courage, his ability to marshal the English language in freedom's cause, and his unshakable belief that in a world threatened by tyranny, the American people had a crucial role to play.

Synopsis
A powerful new work of history that brings President Roosevelt, his allies, and his adversaries to life as he fought to transform America from an isolationist bystander into the world's first superpower. "In today's troubled times, with authoritarianism escalating at home and abroad, Sparrow's book reads like an all-hands-on-deck wakeup call. Highly recommended!"--Douglas Brinkley, A powerful new work of history that brings President Roosevelt, his allies, and his adversaries to life as he fought to transform America from an isolationist bystander into the world's first superpower. "In today's troubled times, with authoritarianism escalating at home and abroad, Sparrow's book reads like an all-hands-on-deck wakeup call. Highly recommended!"--Douglas Brinkley Franklin Roosevelt awoke at 2:50 a.m. on September 1, 1939 to the news that Germany had invaded Poland, signaling the start of World War II. The president had warned for years that Hitler's fascist regime posed an existential threat to democracy, but the American public remained stubbornly isolationist as fascist sympathizing groups, egged on by right wing media stars promoting anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, plotted to overthrow the president. The situation was dire, and Roosevelt quickly found himself facing an unexpected adversary: Charles Lindbergh. Wildly popular, the famed aviator's youthful charm, plainspoken rhetoric, and media magnetism earned him a massive following as he led an aggressive attack on FDR's policies. Millions listened to Linberg's radio broadcasts and attended his rallies. Powerful individuals including William Randolph Hearst, Henry Ford, and members of Congress supported him. The German government provided secret funds to Lindbergh's Nazi followers as he led the radical America First Committee in an effort to prevent Roosevelt from aiding England's survival--and the world's. Awakening the Spirit of America brilliantly shows how Roosevelt overcame the forces aligned against him in a war against fascism. Paul Sparrow, former director of the FDR Presidential Library, reveals how FDR's triumph of leadership was by no means a foregone conclusion. Roosevelt's astute political maneuvers and persuasive use of language to preserve what he termed "the spirit of America" changed history and can still inspire today. Sparrow brings readers into the rooms where key decisions were made, focusing on the crucial role words, media, and propaganda played in the transformation of America into the protector of the free world. Awakening the Spirit of America provides a riveting, inside account of FDR's ultimate victory over pro-Nazi isolationists and provides vital insight into American history and an iconic president.
