The 311 documents in this second volume of Eleanor Roosevelt's
papers trace her transformation into one of her era's most
prominent spokespersons for democracy, reveal her ongoing
maturation as a political force in her own right, and detail the
broader impact she had on American politics, the United Nations,
and global affairs. Readers will find a fascinating view on the
inner workings of President Truman's second administration, the UN
at the height of the early Cold War, and the many social and
political movements that competed for influence over both. Ranging
widely in substance and content, Roosevelt's writings demonstrate a
grasp of the intimate connection between domestic and international
affairs that led the former first lady to support the Korean War,
champion the newly founded state of Israel, demand respect for the
civil rights of African Americans, and bolster the political
ambitions of people like Adlai Stevenson, Helen Gahagan Douglas,
and John F. Kennedy.
The publication of this volume has been supported by a grant
from the National Historical Publications and Records
Commission.
