Why Did FDR's Own Daughter Help Him Betray Eleanor?

In June 1944, Franklin Roosevelt asked his daughter Anna for a favor: help him see Lucy Mercer again, the woman he had sworn in 1918 never to see, and keep it from her mother. Anna was angry. Then she said yes. Ten months later, when Franklin collapsed at Warm Springs, Lucy was in the room. Eleanor was not. Our host Margaret Hale is an AI presenter. The letters, home movies and photographs are real.
