1945rif. 140948892New York and London: Harper & Brothers 1945. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition first printing. A remarkable association copy not only signed by author Henry Morgenthau on the front free endpaper and inscribed to the then-President of the book's publisher known for picking Pulitzer Prize winners: "For Cass Canfield a swell Publisher with sincere affection." Additionally it is signed in pencil on the book's title page by one its primary ghostwriters government official Harry Dexter White with Morgenthau's name suggestively crossed-out. As White's biographer David Rees put it "White was now to supervise the writing of a book by Treasury staff explaining the Morgenthau Plan eventually published a year later under Morgenthau's name as Germany is Our Problem." Morgenthau himself acknowledged White's role in the signed copy he gave White in 1945 cited in James Boughton's Harry White and the American Creed. In 1948 a handwritten note by White to Whittaker Chambers would embroil him in a covert hunt for Soviet moles within the U.S. government. He died that year but five years later his face would grace newspapers all over the world as he was accused of being a spy for the Soviet Union connected to the network of Nathan Silvermaster. His degree of culpability remains debated to this day although release of the Venona decrypts provided damning evidence. The posthumous nature of White's notoriety has meant that his signature is extremely rare especially on books rather than documents. viii 4 ix - xiii iii 239 pp. foldout map printed on speckled wartime paper. Bound in publisher's navy cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Near Fine light rubbing to extremities dulled gilt and dust jacket clipping tipped to front pastedown. In a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with lightly worn with a few small tape repairs to verso. Uncommon especially in such nice shape. The book outlines what would become known as The Morgenthau Plan for postwar Germany. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury called for the defeated enemy's radical total deindustrialization decentralization and transformation into a pastoral society. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt regretted his initial support for Morgenthau's plan after it was vigorously decried at home and abroad and his successor favored the less vengeful and more pragmatic Marshall Plan. White's role in formulating the plan that would bear his superior at the Treasury Department's name remains little-known as it itself has fallen into obscurity since the early Cold War. Less controversial was White's role in co-founding both the International Monetary Fund and World Bank. Harper & Brothers unknown books

Rare. The controversial plan for Germany post-WWII first announced by US Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau in 1944 which called for the immediate total deindustrialization of the country with a focus on extracting reparations for its wrongdoings during the war as well as its forced political and economic decentralization and transformation into a pastoral society. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt OK'd it only to regret it when the plan was vigorously decried at home and abroad. The Marshall Plan was adopted instead under Truman and efforts to deindustrialize and decartelize the Germany economy were limited. Harper & Brothers, Publishers unknown books

Meyer" University Of Chicago Professor Gerhard Meyer And With His Prolific Marginalia Through P. 61. Per Wikipedia Morgenthau's Scientific Man Versus Power Politics 1946 Argued Against An Overreliance On Science And Technology As Solutions To Political And Social Problems. The Book Presented A "Pessimistic View Of Human Nature" Centered On A Universal Lust For Power And The Inevitability Of Selfishness. Hans Joachim Morgenthau 1904 - 1980 Was A German-American Jurist And Political Scientist Who Was One Of The Major 20Th-Century Figures In The Study Of International Relations. Morgenthau's Works Belong To The Tradition Of Realism In International Relations Theory; He Is Usually Considered Among The Most Influential Realists Of The Post-World War Ii Period. Morgenthau Made Landmark Contributions To International Relations Theory And The Study Of International Law. In 1933 Morgenthau Published A Second Book In French La Notion Du "Politique" Which Was Translated Into English And Published In 2012 As The Concept Of The Political. In This Book Morgenthau Seeks To Articulate The Difference Between Legal Disputes Between Nations And Political Disputes Between Nations Or Other Litigants: I Who Holds Legal Power Over The Objects Or Concerns Being Disputed Ii In What Manner Can The Holder Of This Legal Power Be Changed Or Held Accountable Iii How Can A Dispute The Object Of Which Concerns A Legal Power Be Resolved And Iv In What Manner Will The Holder Of The Legal Power Be Protected In The Course Of Exercising That Power For Morgenthau The End Goal Of Any Legal System In This Context Is To "Ensure Justice And Peace". In His Work In The 1920S And 1930S Morgenthau Sought A "Functional Jurisprudence" An Alternative To Mainstream International Law. He Borrowed Ideas From Sigmund Freud Max Weber Roscoe Pound And Others. In 1940 Morgenthau Set Out A Research Program For Legal Functionalism In The Article "Positivism Functionalism And International Law". Francis Boyle Has Written That Morgenthau's Post-War Writings Perhaps Contributed To A "Break Between International Political Science And International Legal Studies." However Politics Among Nations Contains A Chapter On International Law And Morgenthau Remained An Active Contributor To The Subject Of The Relationship Between International Politics And International Law Until The End Of His Career. His Politics Among Nations First Published In 1948 Went Through Five Editions During His Lifetime And Was Widely Adopted As A Textbook In U.S. Universities. While Morgenthau Emphasized The Centrality Of Power And "The National Interest" The Subtitle Of Politics Among Nations-"The Struggle For Power And Peace"-Indicates His Concern Not Only With The Struggle For Power But Also With The Ways In Which It Is Limited By Ethical And Legal Norms. In Addition To His Books Morgenthau Wrote Widely About International Politics And U.S. Foreign Policy For General-Circulation Publications Such As The New Leader Commentary Worldview The New York Review Of Books And The New Republic. He Knew And Corresponded With Many Of The Leading Intellectuals And Writers Of His Era Such As Reinhold Niebuhr George F. Kennan Carl Schmitt And Hannah Arendt.At One Point In The Early Cold War Morgenthau Was A Consultant To The U.S. Department Of State When Kennan Headed Its Policy Planning Staff As Well As A Second Time During The Kennedy And Johnson Administrations Until He Was Dismissed By Johnson When He Began To Publicly Criticize American Policy In Vietnam.
