At the age of 18, Curtis Roosevelt is given an assignment while accompanying his grandmother, Eleanor Roosevelt, in Paris—to visit the world’s newest nation in her stead for two weeks and report back.
It’s 1948 and Eleanor Roosevelt is serving as a senior delegate from the United States to the United Nations when she receives an invitation from the Israel foreign office. Though she is a strong supporter of Israel, she could not attend as an American delegate to the U.N., so instead she decides to send her grandson to visit the places she would visit, meet the people she would meet, and convey back impressions and detailed notes.
Israel is no tourist destination at the time and the ongoing violence in the region is enough to discourage the faint of heart or purpose. In Eyewitness in Israel 1948, Curtis Roosevelt gives a personal narrative of a nation not yet six months old, and the privileges and pressures of being Eleanor Roosevelt’s grandson.
From reviews of Curtis Roosevelt Too Close to the Sun Growing up in the Shadow of my Grandparents, Franklin and Eleanor

—Publisher’s Weekly

Eyewitness in Israel 1948 eBook Curtis Roosevelt
A delightful short story written in the first person by Curtis Roosevelt, the oldest grandson of FDR And Elenore, describing the remarkable opportunity of an 18 year old boy. His insight and perspective in such an unsettled political situation is remarkable. I only wish there were more detail, in-depth observation, to his 10 day journey through the fledgling nation of Israel.Product details
