The Confidante: The Untold Story of the Woman Who Helped Win WWII and Shape Modern America by Christopher Gorham is the biography of Anna Marie Rosenberg, the Hungarian Jewish immigrant who became FDR’s closest advisor during World War II. As FDR’s special envoy to Europe in World War II, she was among the first Allied women to enter a liberated concentration camp. She guided the direction of the G.I. Bill of Rights and safeguarded the Manhattan Project. Though Anna Rosenberg emerged from modest immigrant beginnings, she was the real power behind national policies critical to America winning the war and prospering afterward. (BarnesandNoble.com)
