Grant H. Golub is an Assistant Professor of American History in the Department of National Security and Strategy at the US Army War College. His work and commentary have been published in Cold War History, The Journal of Strategic Studies, The Washington Post and The Chicago Tribune. This is his first book.
'Grant Golub's well-researched and deftly written book offers fresh insight into how power worked in Roosevelt's wartime Washington and how, under Henry Stimson's leadership, the US Army mastered the game of backroom angling, vote whipping, and assault by memo.' Brooke L. Blower, author of Americans in a World at War: Intimate Histories from the Crash of Pan Am's Yankee Clipper 'American grand strategy pivoted during World War II, and Henry Stimson was the fulcrum. Enmeshed in the highest echelons of power he more than any other leader put the Army-and thus army thinking, army jargon, and army solutions-at the heart of Washington's conception of the world's opportunities and threats. Grant Golub's insightful work gives Stimson his full due. Accessible, insightful, well-researched and well-reasoned, it is a must read for anyone interested in the rise of the American century.' Jeffrey A. Engel, David Gergen Director of the Center for Presidential History, Southern Methodist University
