Another home run by Ehret
Ehret gives a straightforward account of the Depression. He emphasizes the assassination attempt on FDR, which happened two weeks before the inauguration. Deepstate wanted to prevent FDR from taking power. Fortunately they chose an inefficient assassin, and his shots were knocked out of line by brave civilians in the audience. Mayor Cermak and two civilians died.
Ehret doesn't say it, but this undoubtedly accounts for FDR's immediate and effective action. If he didn't fully understand the problem before, he knew for sure after the assassination. He knew it was life or death for the country and for himself.
I'm hoping Ehret will take a close look at Harding. He deserves recognition for breaking down Wilson's Deepstate agencies and imposing non-intervention abroad and controls on capitalism domestically. Harding was thoroughly Unpersoned and possibly killed.
