Item description from seller

Fine condition beige boards, red cloth spine, and gold spine lettering contained in a near fine condition non price-clipped photographic dust jacket. Includes Preface; Introduction by Frank Freidel; Epilogue and Index. Also includes two newspaper clipping regarding Eleanor Roosevelt. Illustrated with a section of black-and-white photographic plates and black-and-white photographic frontispiece. "At her death in 1962, Adlai Stevenson said: "She would rather light candles than curse the darkness, and her glow has warmed the world." It was a simple and eloquent way to describe the woman whose accomplishments were as legendary as her admirers were legion. In this, the thrid and final volme of this acclaimed series, Eleanor Roosevelt leads us through her final ten years of life, when - with Harry Truman out of the White House, and the Republicans in power - she could finally give full voice to her often controversial views. Rather than choose a leisurely retirement as a revered former First Lady, she chose instead the more challenging role as standard bearer for the wide range of causes that she held close to her heart. Through her daily column, My Day, we have the opportunity to hear Eleanor Roosevelt's distinctive and always honest opinions on everything that caught her unerring eye: *The cold war and the onset of the nuclear age; *The ongoing struggle for civil rights; *The question of religious freedom; *The changing face of American politics - including the defeat of Adlai Stevenson and the rise of John F. Kennedy; *The ascendancy of Israel and the growing impact it had on the Middle East; *World hunger - which she witnessed first hand on her extensive travels; *And even that peculiar new invention - television. These columns capture Eleanor's wisdom, humor and unflagging zest for living, as she looks at the state of the world in the last ten years of her life, 1953-1962. More importantly, together with the preludes that tie them all together, they provide an enlightening and moving coda to the life of a great woman." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.

Description de la boutique

Vero Beach Books is an antiquarian bookseller with a constantly updated inventory of rare out-of-print books, signed books, children's books, plus a large inventory of ephemeral items such as major U.S. city newspapers going back 100 years and more, golden and silver age fine condition comic books (soon to be added), and many other ephemeral items as well as much more recent popular volumes. We have been in business for 25 years, originally known as Emerson Books (named after one of our owner's favorite authors, to wit, Ralph Waldo Emerson) located back then in Westport, Connecticut. That said, we are here to serve you, to offer you fine quality items that are conservatively described so that you will always be pleasantly surprised and delighted with your purchase. Twenty-five years in the bookselling business has borne out our stellar service oriented reputation; the only difference is that now we are located in the almost always sunny and warm climate of Vero Beach, Florida. Again, we are here to serve you and, as was the case when we were previously known on ABEBooks.com as Emerson Books, we will continue to offer our very popular 100% free search service for those hard to find books rare and out of print books. Oftentimes we are also able to obtain these rare finds at very good discounts to our customers' so it is always worth contacting us in such cases!
