Brent McKee, The Living New Deal’s Project Historian, recently reviewed John W. Jeffries’ A Third Term For FDR: The Election Of 1940 (University Press of Kansas, 2017). The book is particularly relevant because the bitterness of the recent 2016 election echoed the tension of the 1940 election between Roosevelt and Wendell Wilkie. McKee notes that the book “has the right mix of interesting, often humorous stories, and academic & statistical analysis.” According to McKee, Jeffries found that “voter satisfaction with the New Deal was still high enough in 1940 to have a significant impact on the election and help secure a third victory for FDR.” McKee’s full review is on The Living New Deal website.
