Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. First edition, first printing. A remarkable association copy not only signed by author Henry Morgenthau on the front free endpaper and inscribed to the then-President of the book's publisher, known for picking Pulitzer Prize winners: "For Cass Canfield, a swell Publisher, with sincere affection." Additionally it is signed in pencil on the book's title page by one its primary ghostwriters, government official Harry Dexter White, with Morgenthau's name suggestively crossed-out. As White's biographer David Rees put it "White was now to supervise the writing of a book by Treasury staff explaining the Morgenthau Plan, eventually published a year later under Morgenthau's name as Germany is Our Problem." Morgenthau himself acknowledged White's role in the signed copy he gave White in 1945, cited in James Boughton's Harry White and the American Creed. In 1948 a handwritten note by White to Whittaker Chambers would embroil him in a covert hunt for Soviet moles within the U.S. government. He died that year but five years later his face would grace newspapers all over the world as he was accused of being a spy for the Soviet Union connected to the network of Nathan Silvermaster. His degree of culpability remains debated to this day, although release of the Venona decrypts provided damning evidence. The posthumous nature of White's notoriety has meant that his signature is extremely rare, especially on books rather than documents. viii, 4, ix - xiii, [iii], 239 pp. + foldout map, printed on speckled wartime paper. Bound in publisher's navy cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Near Fine, light rubbing to extremities, dulled gilt, and dust jacket clipping tipped to front pastedown. In a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket with lightly worn with a few small tape repairs to verso. Uncommon, especially in such nice shape. The book outlines what would become known as The Morgenthau Plan for postwar Germany. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury called for the defeated enemy's radical total deindustrialization, decentralization, and transformation into a pastoral society. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt regretted his initial support for Morgenthau's plan after it was vigorously decried at home and abroad, and his successor favored the less vengeful and more pragmatic Marshall Plan. White's role in formulating the plan that would bear his superior at the Treasury Department's name remains little-known, as it itself has fallen into obscurity since the early Cold War. Less controversial was White's role in co-founding both the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

First edition of the Morgenthau Plan, the proposed de-industrialization and partition of Germany, turning it into a pastoral, divided nation forever unable to wage war. Morgenthau, the US Treasury Secretary, submitted the plan in 1944 as an internal memorandum. It proposed demilitarizing Germany, dismantling its industrial base, and dividing its territory among France, Poland, an international zone, and two German states. Roosevelt and Churchill provisionally accepted elements of the plan at the Quebec Conference in September 1944, which prompted international controversy. Goebbels used it as propaganda to claim Germany faced national destruction, and George Marshall argued it was stiffening German resistance. Roosevelt disowned the plan, but allowed Morgenthau to publish it. Issued in October 1945, the book comprises a facsimile of the original document, followed by Morgenthau's extended commentary and rationale. Morgenthau still hoped it would still serve as the framework for governing post-war Germany, and Eisenhower arranged for 1,000 copies to be distributed to military officials, but it was not implemented. The US instead pursued rebuilding Germany through the Marshall Plan as a counter to Soviet power. Octavo. Folding map, diagrams in text. Original blue cloth, spine lettered in gilt. With dust jacket. Neat contemporary ownership signature to front free endpaper, and their irate inked annotations to the text, fervently disagreeing with Morgenthau. Endpapers toned; unclipped jacket slightly sunned and rubbed with minor nicking: a very good copy in very good jacket.

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.

Rare. The controversial plan for Germany post-WWII first announced by US Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau in 1944, which called for the immediate total deindustrialization of the country, with a focus on extracting reparations for its wrongdoings during the war, as well as its forced political and economic decentralization, and transformation into a pastoral society. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt OK'd it, only to regret it when the plan was vigorously decried at home and abroad. The Marshall Plan was adopted instead under Truman and efforts to deindustrialize and decartelize the Germany economy were limited.
