A couple ahead of their time who forged an unusual marriage and political partnership that help lead the US out of the Great Depression and navigate our involvement in WWII. I'm endlessly fascinated with this amazing family. #funphotofriday

Has anyone read this who has also read Blanche Wiesen Cook's vol 1 & 2? Seems like it's the same info and wondering if it's worth the time commitment.
