Now in her long-awaited, majestic second volume, Cook takes readers through the tumultuous era of the Great Depression, the New Deal, and the gathering storms of World War II, the years of the Roosevelts' greatest challenges and finest achievements. In her remarkably engaging narrative, Cook gives us the complete Eleanor Roosevelt: an adventurous, romantic woman, a devoted wife and mother, and a visionary policymaker and social activist who often took unpopular stands, counter to her husband's policies, especially on issues such as racial justice and women's rights. A biography of scholarship and daring, it is a book for all readers of American history. "Fascinating . . . Cook's portrait of a woman in the thick of things during the hardest of times . . . will stand as definitive." --The Washington Post "Engrossing . . . Cook is especially good at probing Roosevelt's psychological state and explaining her many complex relationships with friends and family."--The Boston Sunday Globe (front page) "Cook gets at the tender, sprightly creature behind the starchy, strident image." --Maureen Dowd, The New York Times Book Review (front page) About the Author: Blanche Wiesen Cook (born April 20, 1941 in New York City), professor of history at John Jay College, is the author of Eleanor Roosevelt: Volume One 1884-1933, a Los Angeles Times Book Prize winning biography of Eleanor Roosevelt. Cook's biography is controversial because of her claims that Roosevelt had a lesbian affair with reporter Lorena Hickok. An out lesbian, Cook is also the author of Eleanor Roosevelt: Volume 2 , The Defining Years, 1933-1938, and The Declassified Eisenhower: A Divided Legacy of Peace and Political Warfare. *LIKE NEW CONDITION* THE DUST JACKET HAS NORMAL SHELF WEAR THE BOOK HAS NORMAL SHELF WEAR THE BOOK IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION PUBLISHED BY VIKING PENGUIN PUTNAM FIRST PUBLISHED IN 1999 BY VIKING PENGUIN 1 3 5 7 9 10 8 6 4 2 ISBN# 0670844985 0799 686 PAGES ILLUSTRATED SEE OUR OTHER BOOKS IN OUR STORE!
