In this major biography of an important politician and
statesman, Dean Kotlowski presents the life of Paul V. McNutt, a
great understudied figure in the era of FDR. McNutt was governor of
Indiana, high commissioner to the Philippines (while serving he
helped 1,300 Jews flee Nazi Germany for Manila), head of the WWII
Federal Security Agency, and would-be presidential candidate. Paul
V. McNutt and the Age of FDR explores McNutt s life, his era, and
his relationship with Franklin Roosevelt. It sheds light on the
expansion of executive power at the state level during the Great
Depression, the theory and practice of liberalism as federal
administrators understood it in the 1930s and 1940s, the
mobilization of the American home front during World War II, and
the internal dynamics of the Roosevelt and Truman administrations.
McNutt s life underscores the challenges and changes Americans
faced during an age of economic depression, global conflict, and
decolonialization."
