Great writer and interesting subjects in history. I have always been an admirer of Eleanor Roosevelt, a woman with great strength and wisdom from a young age. Despite hardships during her lifetime during demanding political roles, she managed to be a woman of great courage, holding fast to good principles. Blanche Wiesen Cook, the author of this book, was most thorough in researching history and her subjects when compiling this biography. An excellent read.
This book speaks of a compelling woman living and working during a compelling time, at the pinnicle of government during a time of great troubles both in the U.S.A. and in Europe and Asia.

This is an in-depth biography of a famous person. It is well written and an easy read. I think anyone interested in getting to know this great lady will find this helpful. It only looks at a few years of her life, though.
I received my second book of part 1 not part 2. Now I have 2 volume 1 and no volume 2.
