Hopkins, Robert Witness to History: Recollections of a World War II Photographer
Seattle Castle Pacific Publishing 2002 0965386945 / 9780965386944 Soft Cover Near Fine
Entirely clean and tight, no markings. 193 pp. Photos. "In September 1945, President Truman awarded Harry Hopkins with the Distinguished Service Medal, then the highest award the War Department could confer on a civilian. Hopkins first gained notice as the capable head of President Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration during the Great Depression. He later served as one of FDR's primary advisor during WWII, leading such critical efforts as the Lend-Lease program, the Munitions Assignment Board, and the Soviet Protocol Committee. Harry's son Robert, modest and unassuming, enlisted in the army despite his father's social and political position. He was treated skeptically at first by his fellow soldiers, but gained their respect and admiration over time as a brave infantryman and a talented photographer. Robert maintained close ties with his father and with other prominent social and political figures during his wartime service. This book is a memorable record of those years, showing a warm, personal side to famous figures that in many cases has not yet been portrayed in the historical record.
