Inhalt
Joseph P. Lash picks up where »Eleanor and Franklin« ended, tracing Mrs. Roosevelt's 17 years of life after FDR's death in 1945. Combining meticulous research with riveting anecdote, he examines the humanitarian work that earned Eleanor the title of »First Lady of the World«. Compared to »Eleanor & Franklin«, »Eleanor: The Years Alone« is tedious with a lot of minutae about minor figures of the time. Although Eleanor Roosevelt was very liberal (and a lesbian) she had a distrust of the hidden designs of the Catholic Church based on life long encounters with it. Cardinal Spellman maintained a personal vendetta against her for the long standing arch conservatism of the Catholic Church in civil rights and personal freedom. »The Years Alone« touches on her achievements in welfare, refugee rights and disillusion with the Eisenhower administration.
