About the Book:
This first edition book from 1935 is a firsthand account of author, Hugh S. Johnson's work as head of the National Recovery Administration (NRA) during the early years of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Johnson played a pivotal role in crafting and implementing the NRA, which sought to stimulate economic recovery during the Great Depression by regulating industry standards, wages, and working conditions.
In this memoir, Johnson recounts his time in the Roosevelt administration, providing a candid look at the internal struggles and challenges he faced. His tenure was marked by frequent clashes with other prominent New Deal figures, including Harry Hopkins, Frances Perkins, Harold Ickes, and Henry Morgenthau. These disagreements eventually led to his resignation, which Roosevelt reluctantly accepted.
Published shortly after Johnson left his position, the book provides an immediate and unvarnished perspective on the New Deal’s early years. It stands as the first insider account of that period, offering readers an inside view of the Roosevelt administration's attempts to navigate the economic crisis. Johnson's narrative is filled with insights into the political and bureaucratic battles that shaped the NRA and the broader New Deal policies.
This book was soon followed by other contemporary accounts, such as Harry Hopkins', Spending to Save, and Donald Richberg's, The Rainbow, forming a trilogy of early New Deal reflections. Together, these works offer a multi-faceted look at the successes, tensions, and challenges of Roosevelt’s ambitious recovery program, with Johnson’s account focusing on the controversial and short-lived NRA, symbolized by its emblem, the Blue Eagle.
