The Encyclopedia of Presidents offers authoritative biographies of each president since 1789, when George Washington was first sworn in. The stories of these key figures and historic events paint a full and lively picture of our nation. Each biography includes color illustrations, a timeline, boxed features on events and people of special interest, and lively text introducing the featured president and the times in which he lived. Franklin D. Roosevelt, the only president to be elected to four terms, led the country through its two gravest periods of the 1900s--the Great Depression of the 1930s and World War II in the 1940s. In the 1930s, when millions of people were unemployed, banks were failing, and business was at a standstill, he sponsored sweeping legislation to provide jobs and assistance to individuals and to regulate banking and business. He led the country into World War II in late 1941, and died soon after his fourth term began, and only months before Allied forces brought the war to a victorious conclusion.
