Politically controversial, Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration was staffed by passionate believers and hated by conservatives; its critics called its projects make-work and wags said it stood for We Piddle Around. The contrary was true. We have only to look about us today to discover its lasting presence. Nick Taylor is the author of seven nonfiction books and collaborated with John Glenn on his memoir. He lives in New York City.
This book is great! I'm still reading it right now, but it's amazing.
