Reporting from the Frontlines, Eleanor Roosevelt During WWII, Making 'Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey,' 'The Queen's Gambit'

CNN chief international correspondent Clarissa Ward is a world-renowned conflict journalist who has reported from the Syrian border, the frontlines of Ukraine’s war against Russia, and, most recently, on the COVID-19 pandemic vaccine trials. She chronicles her experiences as a journalist in hot zones across the world in her new memoir, On All Fronts: The Education of a Journalist.

In the latest installment of our “Full Bio” series, we take an in-depth look into the life of America’s longest-serving First Lady, Eleanor Roosevelt, with David Michaelis, who spent 11 years working on his new biography, Eleanor. Today, we examine the Roosevelts as wartime leaders. World War II threw Eleanor’s disagreements with her husband about anti-Semitism and racism into stark relief. It also propelled Eleanor -- and her opinions -- to international significance.
