Morgenthau

In "Morgenthau," award-winning journalist Andrew Meier presents an ambitious chronicle of four generations of the Morgenthau family, whose influence shaped American diplomacy, politics, and criminal justice from the 19th century onward. Drawing on exclusive family archives, Meier reveals how the family's journey began with Lazarus Morgenthau's dreams of fortune in America, leading to the powerful legacies of his descendants, including Henry Jr., FDR's key aide, and Robert, a historic district attorney in New York City. This engaging narrative intertwines personal history with pivotal moments in U.S. history, illuminating a dynasty that has remained largely in the shadows for far too long.
