Eleanor di David Michaelis
Having grown up in Hyde Park with Valkill bordering my backyard, ER and the Roosevelts have always held an interest for me. This book seemed well researched. The excerpts from diaries and letters were interesting. I also appreciated how the author showed us how Eleanor's outlook on people and races evolved over the years. My one nit with the book is that it often seemed to jump around in time rather suddenly. For example, one chapter ends with FDR elected as governor of NY and then the next chapter opens with him as President without a segue.… (altro)
An intense book not very well written but an education in FDR and American politics. The author did not admire FDR. A book that should be read by people in this country. It also presents the best reason for Japanese internment, the anti-sematism, his dislike of Churchill, and his agreement on lynching. It is just a hard read and somewhat dry.
