I finished Lynne Olson's
Those Angry Days. It is leading me to look at other material of the period (1939-1941).
As a follow-up, I read Robert Sherwood's
Abe Lincoln In Illinois, due to Olson's reference to it. I can vaugely remember seeing the movie adaptation a long time ago.
The Sherwood play lead me to Lillian Hellman's
Watch On the Rhine, which is next on my TBR list. Since I was looking at drama written in the period, I also added Maxwell Anderson's Winterset to my TBR list (a modern play written in blank verse
).
Can anyone suggest a good book on the 1940 presidential election?
Susan Dunn's
1940: FDR, Willkie, Lindbergh, Hitler-the Election amid the Storm looks good, but doesn't seem to be available in digital form yet.
