One of FDR's true and closest friends, van Loon emigrated from the Netherlands to the United States at age 20, in 1902. Working as a historian, journalist, illustrator, and radio commentator, van Loon immersed himself in American cultural life from the 1920s through the '40s, until his death three months before D-Day. Van Loon's professional relationships and friendships with such distinguished persons as Sinclair Lewis, Van Wyck Brooks, H. L. Mencken, Albert Einstein, Herbert Hoover, and Fiorello La Guardia bolster his place as a celebrity of his times. This biography is an exciting and nuanced portrait of a man deeply involved in American cultural life in the first half of the twentieth century. 410 0$aThe World of the Roosevelts 606 $aUnited States-History 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aEurope-History 606 $aAmerica-History 606 $aUS History$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/718010 606 $aModern History$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/713000 606 $aEuropean History$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/717000 606 $aHistory of the Americas$3http://scigraph.springernature.com/things/product-market-codes/718000 615 0$aUnited States-History. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aEurope-History. 615 0$aAmerica-History. 615 14$aUS History. 615 24$aModern History. 615 24$aEuropean History. 615 24$aHistory of the Americas. 676 $a973.917/092 700 $aMinnen$b Cornelis A. van$01793664 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961621703321 996 $aVan Loon$94333607 997 $aUNINA
