• catalog abstract ""Joseph Swidler (1907-1997) was one of the last New Dealers, part of a generation of talented professionals - including Harry Hopkins, Harold Ickes, and Wilbur Cohen - who devoted their energies to serving public, not private interests. In a career spanning six decades, he helped craft and administer the nation's energy policy while witnessing most of the signal events of the modern age: the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and America's emergence as a superpower. Swidler's memoir is filled with insights on this transformative period of U.S. history and includes anecdotes about key historical figures, among them David E. Lilienthal, Harold Ickes, Lyndon B. Johnson, John F. Kennedy, and Nelson Rockefeller."--Jacket.".
