The Roosevelts and Their Descendants: Portrait of an American Family

Few families have influenced America like the Roosevelts--two presidents from different parties, including our longest-serving chief executive, and the First Lady of the World. Born into aristocratic society, Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor (nee) Roosevelt shared a commitment to progress and the common good over class. Their lives have been the focus of numerous books but their legacy and the extended family they left behind warrant a closer look. This book chronicles the Roosevelts and those other Roosevelts--a family of individuals always striving to measure up but united by an illustrious past.
