Franklin Roosevelt's friend and advisor Harry Hopkins, an Iowan
social worker who became the president's political "point man"
during World War II, was one of the most improbable and important
political operators of the twentieth century. Having gained
Roosevelt's trust assisting on campaigns and leading relief and
jobs programs-including the WPA-during the 1930s, Hopkins helped
the president confront the growing threat, and later the reality,
of war. From the beginning, Hopkins grasped that the key to victory
was the creation and maintenance of an Allied coalition of military
power sustained by economic cooperation. He acted as the
self-described "catalytic agent" between the Allied leaders,
meeting frequently with Churchill and Stalin both before and long
after Pearl Harbor and coordinating the $50 billion Lend-Lease
program. David Roll's portrait of Hopkins discusses his early life
and career, but emphasizes his role alongside FDR (and later
Truman) in World War II, making use of previously private diaries
and letters.
