Summary
In Eleanor and Franklin, Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Joseph P. Lash offers a deeply intimate portrait of one of America's most iconic partnerships. Drawing from Eleanor Roosevelt’s private papers with unprecedented access, Lash crafts a nuanced narrative of personal triumphs, political ambition, and enduring love amid personal challenges. Richly detailed and masterfully written, this biography not only illuminates the powerful bond between Eleanor and Franklin D. Roosevelt but also explores how their relationship influenced some of the most significant moments in 20th-century American history. With a foreword by historian Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr., and an introduction by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., the book stands as a testament to their enduring legacy. This hardcover edition, though missing its dustjacket, remains a collectible and valuable addition for history enthusiasts, political scholars, and admirers of the Roosevelts. A timeless exploration of two extraordinary lives intertwined with the destiny of a nation.
