The Confidante: The Untold Story of the Woman Who Helped Win WWII and Shape Modern America by Christopher C. Gorham

 Facilitated by Patrick Tracy

As Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s special envoy to Europe in World War II, Anna Marie Rosenberg went where the president couldn’t go. She was among the first Allied women to enter a liberated concentration camp, and stood in the Eagle’s Nest, Hitler’s mountain retreat, days after its capture. She guided the direction of the G.I. Bill of Rights and the Manhattan Project. Though Anna Rosenberg emerged from modest immigrant beginnings, equipped with only a high school education, she was the real power behind national policies critical to America winning the war and prospering afterward. Astonishingly, her life ran parallel to the front lines of history, yet her influence on the 20th century America, from the New Deal to the Cold War an beyond, has never before been told.
