Description
Harry Hopkins: The Man Behind the Alliance Harry Hopkins, an Iowa social worker, became a trusted advisor to President Franklin Roosevelt, playing a pivotal role in shaping the Allied coalition during World War II. This biography sheds light on Hopkins' early life and career, while focusing on his crucial contributions to the war effort. Hopkins' grasp of the key to victory lay in creating and maintaining an Allied coalition of military power sustained by economic cooperation. He acted as a key intermediary between the Allied leaders, meeting frequently with Churchill and Stalin, and coordinating the $50 billion Lend-Lease program. David Roll's portrait of Hopkins draws on previously private diaries and letters to provide a nuanced understanding of his role in shaping the course of history. By examining Hopkins' life and career, this book offers a fresh perspective on one of the most important political operators of the 20th century.
