Someone once said that Washington DC is a place where history is taken for granted and granite mistaken for history. The new FDR "memorial" is notable for what it forgets. John T. Flynn, active columnist and author throughout the Roosevelt years and beyond, made an enormous contribution to accurate reporting and genuine understanding of the New Deal. Unfortunately, Flynn's work has been out of print for decades while the politically correct elite have not only preserved the myth, they have now literally cast it in stone.
Do not despair. The technology of the information age provides a remedy. Flynn is back, facts, footnotes and all, and in an electronically enhanced form unimagined in the age when journalists scribbled on notepads with pencil stubs. As a Microsoft® Windows® help file, it can be searched, annotated, printed out . . . or even read, page by pungent page. Even better for students, editorialists or online newsgroup debaters, the electronic version is only a mouse-click away when a citation is needed. No more flipping through paper texts in search of a passage about the Democratic National Committee or the $3,000.000 income Eleanor took down as First Lady. Find what you want when you want it. Add your own annotations and memory joggers. Tools are the human heritage, as are words and ideas.
This revived book is produced for the Historical Research Foundation in New York whose mission is the conservation of truth in history.
