FDR's Shadow
The Leonard Lopate Show | May 10, 2010
In 1921, Franklin Delano Roosevelt had just lost an election as vice president, was left paralyzed from the waist down by polio, and his marriage was on the rocks. Julie Fenster describes how his friend and advisor, Louis Howe, was instrumental in FDR’s resurgence and for shaping Eleanor Roosevelt’s role. In FDR’s Shadow: Louis Howe, the Force that Shaped Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, she gives a behind-the-scenes account of this influential friendship.
Event: Julie M. Fenster will be in discussion with Adam Cohen, moderated by Alan Brinkley
