Book summary

These letters--254 in all--written after the death of Franklin, reveal the warm, though not close, relationship between President Truman and the first widow, Eleanor Roosevelt. They show how Eleanor provided support when Truman most needed it, and they reveal her role as advisor on important issues and her shrewd advice on how to win over world leaders like Churchill and Stalin. The letters also reveal the divide between their two world views, and how Truman, though often irritated by Mrs. Roosevelt's progressive ideas, appointed her to the important post of U.N. delegate, and always kept open the lines of communication. A New York Times Notable Book for 2002.

Media reviews

"Thanks to the broader perspective added by Neal's expert annotations, this warm and provocative collection will appeal to general readers as well as Truman and Roosevelt specialists."
