Abstract
"Each of Roosevelt's fireside chats inspired people to act, making them par ticipants in a shared drama," an author observes. "In an era when most camp aign speeches are mere spectator events, reflecting rather than leading pub lic opinion, there is much to be learned from Roosevelt's fireside chats.".
