Roosevelt didn't end the Great Depression. War did.

The author hasn't "demonstrated" anything. He argues - not very convincingly in my opinion - for a certain interpretation. An example of a weakness in his argument; he neglects to mention that the Federal Reserve in the period 1929 to 1933 - Hoover's presidency - acted in accord with sound Conservative principles of the time.

Exactly.

I believe the author states your point in the last line:

The truth: The Depression ended with the buildup to World War II.

True, but they were not considered "Conservative" at the time, but "Progressive" actions by the Fed. You also fail to mention that many of the programs credited to Roosevelt, were actually started during Hoover's administration. The WPA being one of them.

Liberal, wait until the book comes out. There will be a great deal more evidence with references and sources cited. FDR took this country frighteningly close to totalitarism. The worse the economy performed, the greater concentration of power at the federal level became. FDR directly benefited from economic disaster and did everything he could to promote it. Let's also not forget that it was he who saved communism on many occasions.
