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

Signed and inscribed by author FDR's Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. 1891-1967 to his first cousin once removed James Frank Jr. The infamous Morgenthau Plan charted a course for Germany post WWII intended to revert it to a pastoral state. Senator Henrick Shipstead denounced it as "America's eternal monument of shame for the destruction of the German people." - Congressional Record Senate May 15 1946 p.5039. "The punishment policy deeply betrayed the will of the American people against indiscriminate vengeance which had been demonstrated in the nationwide condemnation of the Morgenthau Plan." - James Bacque Other Losses p.158. "The Morgenthau Plan would wipe out everything in Germany except land and the Germans would have to live on the land. Thus only 60 percent of the population could support themselves and the other 40 percent would die." - The Memoirs of Cordell Hull p.1617. When word of the plan leaked to Goebbels he exploited it to stiffen German resistance thus extending the war - and bringing considerable criticism upon Morgenthau.

1968ref. 509830William Morrow & Co 1968. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. NEAR FINE/NEAR FINE. SIGNED and inscribed by the editor Richard Kostelanetz to contributor Hans Morgenthau: 'd. Sept. 1968 / For Hans Morgenthau / Who brought a European intelligence perhaps conservative to radical American problems / with much appreciation and best wishes / signed Richard Kostalenetz.' xli 436pp. Sewn binding in black spine cloth over green paper-over-boards with white orange and green spine lettering. Very clean fresh copy with just a bit of wear to spine head; DJ tips with some trivial rubbing and 1mm tear to rear head at the flap crease. Kostelanetz is a poet artist and critic with a prolific publishing history beginning with numerous edited collections early in his career--this one being his fourth compiled at the age of 28. He contributes a lengthy introduction with an optimistic and fairly utopian outlook on the promise of new technology and informed planning for the betterment of society. The choice of Morgenthau is a somewhat surprising one: as the inscription hints the question of his essential conservatism remains debated today. While his insistence on the tragic character of human nature led him to distrust many progressive projects he was also consistently critical of reactionary which sought only 'stability' as a goal. Morgenthau enjoyed some temporary status among radicals in the 60's due to his early criticism of US Vietnam Policy with which his essay for the present volume deals. Political scholar Jennifer See writes '"Morgenthau in fact played an important role in opening public space for opposition to the Vietnam War. He was one of the first to perceive the dangers the United States faced; to expose the fallacies of applying Cold War assumptions to Southeast Asia's revolutionary anticolonial realities; and most importantly to express his views publicly. In light of recent scholarship on the war some may find his predictions prophetic." "Prophet Without Honor: Hans Morgenthau and the War in Vietnam 1955-1965". William Morrow & Co hardcover
