Passionate Mothers, Powerful Sons:The Lives of Jennie Jerome Churchill and Sara Delano Roosevelt |
This recent book offers a new and important slant on the lives and personalities of Franklin Roosevelt and Winston Churchill. By bringing the two mothers, completely different personalities, to life with impeccable research and deep insight the author highlights the way they shaped not only their own destinies but those of their sons, thus setting their own mark on the world of today . . . it's also a valuable addition to works on women's history of that time.
