Harry Hopkins Biographies IN AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY Joseph A Fry - photo 1

Harry Hopkins

Biographies

IN AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY

Joseph A. Fry, University of Nevada, Las Vegas

Series Editor

The Biographies in American Foreign Policy Series employs the enduring medium of biography to examine the major episodes and themes in the history of U.S. foreign relations. By viewing policy formation and implementation from the perspective of influential participants, the series humanizes and makes more accessible those decisions and events that sometimes appear abstract or distant. Particular attention is devoted to those aspects of the subjects background, personality, and intellect that most influenced his or her approach to U.S. foreign policy, and each individuals role is placed in a context that takes into account domestic affairs, national interests and policies, and international and strategic considerations.

Acknowledgments

I am grateful to the many scholars who have written about Harry Hopkins and FDR, far too numerous to mention here, but I am particularly indebted to the editor of the Biographies in American Foreign Policy series, Joseph Andy Fry, for his skilled and dedicated stewardship of every book in his series. I am also grateful for the assistance of the fine people at Rowman & Littlefield, particularly Elaine McGarraugh, Jon Sisk, Benjamin Verdi, and Desiree Reid. A number of research organizations assisted with the project, starting with the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library in Hyde Park, where I was supported by several people, starting with their dynamic new director, Lynn Bassanese, and their multitalented chief archivist, Bob Clark, and his helpful team, including Matt Hanson, Virginia Lewick, Kirsten Strigel Carter, and Sarah Malcolm. I was also aided by the archivists at the Special Collections Research Center at the Lauinger Library, Georgetown University, but particularly Scott Taylor. At the Virginia Military Institute, Paul Barron assisted with the George C. Marshall Papers, and Claryn Spies aided with access to the Henry L. Stimson Papers at Yale University Library. Also helpful were the many archivists, too numerous to name, at the Manuscript Division at the Library of Congress, the Houghton Library at Harvard, the Winston Churchill Collection at Cambridge University, the British National Archives at Kew, and the Mudd Library at Princeton. I would also like to thank Manaf Damluji, Ken Moody, Carol Grant Gould, Elizabeth Moorhatch, Kelly Hallisy, Elizabeth Klein, Sarah Reinheimer, Conor Reilly, Harrison B. Robbs, Natalie Kamajian, Steve Schulz, Charles Morone, Vince Dougherty, Halley Farrell, Kaylin Andres, Mirabai Collamore, Kendis Camacho, and, for his services as a muse, Alonzo OSullivan. And with respect to the august John Steinbeck, my deepest gratitude to my father, the redoubtable General Curtis H. OSullivan, who lived it, and my deepest love and admiration for my extraordinary wife, Maeve, who willed it.
