Meanwhile, for those ten days, Americans had believed she was secluded at home. As Allied forces battled the Japanese for control of the region, Eleanor was THERE, spending five weeks traveling to islands in the area, as well as Hawaii, New Zealand, and Australia, on a mission as First Lady of the United States to experience what our servicemen were experiencing... and report back home"-- Provided by publisher.
