This work written by Henry Morgenthau, Jr. (1891-1967) , while serving as the Secretary of the Treasury for President Franklin D. Roosevelt, details his plan for the occupation of Germany after World War II. His proposal sought to eliminate the war-making potential of Germany for all time, through territorial dismemberment and deindustrialization. The Morgenthau Plan guided the early German occupation but was scrapped in favor of the Marshall Plan. Historians believe that full-scale deindustrialization of Germany would have resulted in the starvation of 25 million German citizens. When word of this ominous plan leaked to Goebbels in the latter stages of WWII he exploited it to stiffen German resistance, thus extending the war and adding to the American casualty count. ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall.
