The dust jacket is in good condition (crinkling along top and bottom edges, faded spine, cover rubbing, some small smudges on back). 9 ¼ x 6 ¼, 304 pages, 26 ounces XX [From the flaps] The notable career of William Gibbs McAdoo (1863-1941) has long awaited the definitive study this volume presents. A perennial candidate for the Democratic nomination for President between 1920 and 1932, neither his autobiography, Crowded Years, nor the many references to his life and actions by historians of the United States in the twentieth century have yet demonstrated so convincingly that McAdoo ranks as one of the most capable and energetic business leaders and cabinet officers in the entire course of American history. More than a study of McAdoo's life and character, the book is a reinterpretation of Wilsonian reform, in which McAdoo played a major role. Under McAdoo, as Dr. Broesamle shows, the Treasury became a bastion of power within the Wilson administration. Applying his restless promotional drive to government, McAdoo initiated or spearheaded major, and sometimes drastic, new departures in foreign, farm, and credit policy. He played a key role in the passage of the Federal Reserve Act, the Shipping Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act, and other important measures. Drawing on rich and unusually wide ranging research into the papers of public figures of the Wilsonian era, Dr. Broesamle brings to light many hitherto unknown facts about the ways in which the Wilson administration responded to the many crises of these years and, perhaps most significantly, how, largely through McAdoo's energetic efforts, it came to cooperate with and enjoy the cooperation of American business in reorganizing the economy and preparing for war. Brilliantly conceived, based on exhaustive research, presented with clarity and precision, and supplemented by a lengthy bibliography, WILLIAM GIBBS MCADOO: A PASSION FOR CHANGE will surely take its place among the definitive studies of the Wilsonian era in American history.
