by By Cook, Blanche Wiesen
Category: Biography & Autobiography , Historical

The first volume of a projected two-volume biography. Historian (CUNY) and journalist Cook draws upon previously untapped sources including recently opened archives, FBI and State Department documents, and letters of long-obscured friends to restore a goodly dose of human passion to the iconic humanitarian. Volume one spans the years from Eleanor's birth to her husband Franklin Delano's inauguration. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
