520 President Franklin D. Roosevelt coined the slogan "The
Arsenal of Democracy" to describe American might during
the grim years of World War II. The man who financed that
arsenal was his Secretary of the Treasury, Henry
Morgenthau Jr. This is the first book to focus on the
wartime achievements of this unlikely hero, a dyslexic
college dropout who turned himself into a forceful and
efficient administrator and then exceeded even Roosevelt
in his determination to defeat the Nazis. Based on
extensive research at the FDR Library in Hyde Park, NY,
author Peter Moreira describes Morgenthau's truly
breathtaking accomplishments: he led the greatest
financial program the world has ever seen, raising $310
billion (over $4.8 trillion in today's dollars) to finance
the war effort. This was largely done without the help of
Wall Street by appealing to the patriotism of the average
citizen through the sale of war bonds. In addition, he
championed aid to Britain before America entered the war;
initiated and oversaw the War Refugee Board, spearheading
the rescue of 200,000 Jews from the Nazis; and became the
architect of the 1944 Bretton Woods Conference, which
produced the modern economic paradigm. The book also
chronicles Morgenthau's many challenges, ranging from anti
-Semitism to the postwar "Morgenthau Plan" that was his
undoing. This is a captivating story about an understated
and often overlooked member of the Roosevelt cabinet who
played a pivotal role in the American war effort to defeat
the Nazis.
520 A biography of Roosevelt's secretary of the Treasury
provides details on how the college dropout fueled his
determination to defeat the Nazis by creating a financial
program to finance the war and launched the American
aircraft program.
