Upon his death, Hendrik van Loon was described in The Times
obituary as 'one of the most engaging products of the marriage
between Holland and the United States'. 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.
