The First Lady of World War II: Eleanor Roosevelt's Daring Journey to the Frontlines and Back by Shannon McKenna Schmidt

4.0

Schmidt wrote a very detailed account of Eleanor Roosevelt’s difficult and dangerous trip to conduct inspections for the Red Cross and visit allies in the South Pacific in 1943.

I gained a new appreciation for the hard-working, determined woman she was. I especially liked the insights into what life experiences had formed Eleanor and how this journey affected her during and afterward to work for peace and to provide for the people who served in the war. – Stacy M.
