A continuation of the first book. American 1939 on the brink of joining the Allies against the onslaught of the Nazi movement in Europe. Americans are divided about joining a conflict that isn’t theirs, and the parallel decades later cannot be ignored.
History is in the making in America. Anti semitism is being fanned by one section and tolerance and inclusion by another. It is also a story of women’s empowerment and how difficult the world of academia was for women. The glass ceiling was being broken but by minute degrees and it was a fight all the way. Elena and Mary’s friendship surviving against the tension between their husbands on opposing sides of a political divide added another layer to the story.
A compelling read (especially if one has little knowledge of the history of politics in America). Was an excellent manual for me.
