Amazingly this is the only book written specifically about Missy LeHand who was FDR's de facto Chief of Staff. It is an enlightening and enjoyable read about a highly intelligent political woman who was irreplaceable in the FDR administration. If for nothing more than the fact that it is the first of its kind about someone who we should know much more about it is worth your time. #WW2 #Herstory #USHistory @TouchstoneBooks

Today I read in this book that in the 1930s they only started campaigning for president after Labor Day the same year the election took place! Can you imagine? I suspect many would like to return to the practice of short campaigns! #Election2016
