Our Finest Hour WILL CLAYTON, the Marshall Plan, and the Triumph of Democracy, by Gregory A. Fossedal (read 22 Jun 2022) This book, published in 1993, is a carefully-researched biography of Will Clayton, who was born 7 Feb 1880, and died in 1966. He was a big figure in cotton and made a fortune in dealing in such. I well remember when he was nominated by FDR in December 1944 to be in the State Department and was opposed by some liberals as too conservative. He was confirmed, though, and played a leading role in the work which in 1948 resulted in the Marshall plan. In fact, it appears he had more to do with conceiving the plans for such did Marshall himself. The book is very laudatory of Clayton--and rightly so. His wife was urging him to leave his government job and he did, but nevertheless, she divorced him--but they soon remarried and were together till she died. The book is informative and full of good data, but I did not find it too exciting. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
William L. Clayton was "the principal architect of American post-war foreign economic policy" (Newsweek), yet his seminal contributions to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), the Marshall Plan, and the Truman Doctrine have been largely ignored over the past four decades. This gap in the story of free-world cooperation is filled by Gregory Fossedal's vivid biography. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
