- Synopsis
- Eleanor Roosevelt and Harry S. Truman were two towering giants of twentieth-century American history. They were also unlikely allies, overcoming differences in background and opinion to become steadfast supporters of each other. These more than 250 letters written over nearly twenty years offer a revealing portrait of the former first lady and American president through their lively exchanges on such important issues as the burgeoning Cold War, the creation of the state of Israel, the civil rights movement, the breakup of colonial empires, the formative years of the United Nations, and their respective visions of postwar America, while providing a rare, fully human study of an enduring friendship that helped to shape our world.
