The GROTONIAN Vol. 49 XLIX Bound volumes containing all issues for 1932-33 Academic year includes The Grotonian Prize Day 1933
Groton MA: Groton School. Good. 1933. First Edition. Hardcover. 275 36 ads pages; Contents clean and secure in original binding of three-quarter maroon leather over boards; endpapers toned. Editor in Chief - John deK. Alsop; literary editors -- Munro L. Lyeth and Owen Biddle; Cornelius V.S. Roosevelt was a business manager. This volume belonged to Kermit Roosevelt Jr. who made fourteen literary contributions to these issues of the publication. Other literary contributors include Benjamin Welles II Louis Auchincloss Francis Keppel Samuel Hinckley John M. Graham John deK. Alsop etc. Groton School is one of the most selective private college-preparatory boarding schools in the United States. Ranked as one of the top five boarding schools in the United States Groton is affiliated with the Episcopalian tradition. George Biddle a 1902 graduate wrote "Ninety-five percent of the boys came from what they considered the aristocracy of America. Their fathers belonged to the Somerset the Knickerbocker the Philadelphia or the Baltimore Clubs. Among them was a goodly slice of the wealth of the nation." There are many famous Groton alumni including President Franklin D. Roosevelt and 12 other Roosevelt family members Dean Acheson Joseph Wright Alsop V Louis Auchincloss Henry Francis du Pont W. Averell Harriman Cyrus Vance Jr. etc. From the collection of Kermit "Kim" Roosevelt Jr. 1916 - 2000 the grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt. He was a career intelligence officer who served in the Office of Strategic Services and operated throughout the Near and Middle East for the CIA in the 1950s and 1960s. In Egypt under Allen Dulles Kim Roosevelt supervised the CIA's operation to undermine the popular General Neguib and encourage the rise to power of Gamul Abdul Nasser. Even before his decisive victory Nasser was communicating through Roosevelt to make a settlement with Great Britain. These back-channel negotiations eventually produced the treaty signed in October 1954. Nasser ascended and for the next decade Egypt's relations with the West moved along a sometimes rocky road. By 1965 relations had significantly deteriorated and Nasser was quite worried the CIA was plotting to assassinate him. After the Odell-Amin case broke the CIA began to look for "more West friendly" Egyptian elements. Their attention landed on the Muslim Brotherhood which according to Talcott Seelye "We thought of Islam as a counterweight to communism. We saw it as a moderate force and a positive one." In fact the CIA was spending millions of dollars on anti-Nasser operations including an extensive propaganda campaign. Roosevelt was also the mastermind of the Central Intelligence Agency's Operation Ajax which orchestrated the coup against Iran's democratically-elected Mohammed Mossadegh administration and returned Mohammad Reza Pahlavi the Shah of Iran to Iran's Peacock Throne in August 1953 for the purpose of returning Western control of Middle Eastern oil supplies. .
