The Confidante: The Untold Story of the Woman Who Helped Win WWII and Shape Modern America

byChristopher C. Gorham

Christopher C. Gorham restores Anna Rosenberg, a Hungarian Jewish immigrant who became one of the most influential women in twentieth-century American government. Trusted by Franklin Roosevelt, military leaders, labor officials, and later presidents, she coordinated wartime manpower, advised on strategy, negotiated disputes, and helped shape postwar defense policy. The biography follows her rise through networks that often excluded women and immigrants, as well as the political attacks that threatened her career. Rosenberg's life reveals how unofficial access, administrative skill, and personal trust can exercise enormous power outside elected office.
