Some historians use New Deal to designate the intense period of domestic reform legislation of the first Franklin Delano Roosevelt administration, [tel]. Others confine discussion of the era to the legislation of 1933, and identify another wave of legislation in 1935 as a Second New Deal. Most of the essays in this book focus on the prewar period, with glimpses that look forward to the rhetoric of the approach to and engagement in World War II.
