Why read it?
1 author picked This Fabulous Century 1940 - 1950, Vol 5 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Because it focuses on the most important decade in Mrs. Roosevelt's life—covering the war years and her initial years of work as a US representative at the United Nations. Photos!! Reading about history is one thing. Seeing images of the people and technology that made history happen is something else. Large format, b&w, with good running text that uses countless anecdotes to tell the story of a century that truly transformed the world, from a time of kerosene lamps, horses and buggies, to men on the Moon. Eleanor Roosevelt’s life (1884-1962) parallels this illustrated history series (1870-1970) almost exactly. Excellent…
From David's list on Eleanor Roosevelt, her times, and her column “My Day”.
