The Confidante: the untold story of the w oman who helped win World War II and shape modern America. 384 pages. Pub: 2023 (Livia)\n\n“It’s about a woman named Anna Rosenberg\, who was a close personal advisor to FDR and played a major role in \;labor/manag ement relations during the war. The Jewish angle is about the anti-semitis m she encountered\, but there’s also a civil rights interest as she was instrumental in desegregating the armed forces\; and a feminist angle beca use of her role [in] opening “mens” jobs to women.” Livia \;\n\n “As Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s special envoy to Europe in World War I I she went where the president couldn’t go. She was among the first Alli ed women to enter a liberated concentration camp\, and stood in the Eagle ’s Nest\, Hitler’s mountain retreat\, days after its capture. She guid ed the direction of the G.I. Bill of Rights and the Manhattan Project. Tho ugh Anna Rosenberg emerged from modest immigrant beginnings\, equipped wit h only a high school education\, she was the real power behind national po licies critical to America winning the war and prospering afterward. Aston ishingly\, her story remains largely forgotten.” Amazon\n\nDC Library: n ot available \nMCPL: book and several electronic versions available. \nIne xpensive copies available online.\n\nFor more information\, contact the Bo ok Club leader about our First Tuesday gatherings.
