2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, December 6, 2011
This review is from: Eleanor: The Years Alone (Hardcover)
After reading the first Lash Book about Eleanor & Franklin, I found The Years Alone to be a bit tedious with a lot of minutae about minor figures of the time. Most interesting parts were about her distrust of Kennedy because of his father & his Catholicism Although Eleanor was very liberal 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 being against giving public aid to Catholic schools & the long standing arch conservatism of the Catholic Church in civil rights & personal freedom. The Years Alone only touches on her achievements in welfare, refugee rights & disillusion with the Eisenhower administration & how her many talents were passed over by the Republicans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, informative, and inspiring, November 20, 2011
This review is from: Eleanor: The Years Alone (Hardcover)
One of the best books about Eleanor Roosevelt I have ever read. It was written by someone she was close to and who had access to her personal papers.
