Franklin Delano Roosevelt (January 30, 1882 to April 12, 1945), also known as FDR, was the 32nd president of the United States, serving from 1933 until his death in 1945. The longest-serving U.S. president, he is the only president to have served more than two terms. His initial two terms were centered on combating the Great Depression, while his third and fourth saw him shift his focus to America's involvement in World War II. The following recording is of a December 29, 1940 fireside chat FDR gave discussing national security.
