\n Perfect for readers of A Woman of No Importance, Three Ordinary Girls, and Eleanor: A Life comes the first-ever biography of Anna Marie Rosenberg, the Hungarian Jewish immigrant who became FDR\u2019s closest advisor during World War II and, according to Life, \u201cthe most important official woman in the world\u201d \u2014a woman of many firsts, whose story, forgotten for too long, is extraordinary, inspiring, and uniquely American. Her life ran parallel to the front lines of history yet her influence on 20th century America, from the New Deal to the Cold War and beyond, has never before been told.<\/p>\n

A Goodreads Choice Awards Nominee<\/p>\n

As Franklin Delano Roosevelt\u2019s special envoy to Europe in World War II she went where the president couldn\u2019t go. She was among the first Allied women to enter a liberated concentration camp, and stood in the Eagle\u2019s Nest, Hitler\u2019s mountain retreat, days after its capture. She guided the direction of the G.I. Bill of Rights and the Manhattan Project. Though Anna Rosenberg emerged from modest immigrant beginnings, equipped with only a high school education, she was the real power behind national policies critical to America winning the war and prospering afterward. Astonishingly, her story remains largely forgotten.<\/p>\n

With a disarming mix of charm and Tammany-hewn toughness, Rosenberg began her career in public relations in 1920s Manhattan. She became friends with Eleanor Roosevelt, who recommended Anna to her husband, who was then running for Governor of New York. As FDR\u2019s unofficial adviser, Rosenberg soon wielded enormous influence\u2014no less potent for being subtle. Roosevelt dubbed her \u201cmy Mrs. Fix-It.\u201d Her extraordinary career continued after his death.<\/p>\n

By 1950, she was tapped to become the assistant secretary of defense\u2014the highest position ever held by a woman in the US military\u2014prompting Senator Joe McCarthy to wage an unsuccessful smear campaign against her. In 1962, she organized John F. Kennedy\u2019s infamous birthday gala, sitting beside him while Marilyn Monroe sang. Until the end of her life, Rosenberg fought tirelessly for causes from racial integration to women\u2019s equality to national health care.<\/p>\n

More than the story of one remarkable woman, The Confidante explores who gets to be at the forefront of history, and why. Though she was not quite a hidden figure, Rosenberg\u2019s position as \u201cthe power behind,\u201d combined with her status as an immigrant and a Jewish woman, served to diminish her importance. In this inspiring, impeccably researched, and revelatory book, Christopher C. Gorham at last affords Anna Rosenberg the recognition she so richly deserves.<\/p>\n

\u201cFar and away the most important woman in the American government, and perhaps the most important official female in the world.\u201d \u2014LIFE magazine, 1952
