  • Front Matter
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-03126-5 - FDR’s Ambassadors and the Diplomacy of Crisis: From the Rise of Hitler to the End of World War II David Mayers Frontmatter More information FDR’s Ambassadors and the Diplomacy of Crisis What effect did personality and circumstance have on US foreign policy during World War II? This incisive account of US envoys residing in the major belligerent countries – Japan, Germany, Italy, China, France, Great Britain, USSR – highlights the fascinating role played by such diplomats as Joseph Grew, William Dodd, William Bullitt, Joseph Kennedy, and W. Averell Harriman. Between Hitler’s 1933 ascent to power and the 1945 bombing of Nagasaki, US ambassadors sculpted formal policy – occasionally deliberately, other times inadvertently – giving shape and meaning not always intended by FDR or predicted by his principal advisors. From appeasement to the Holocaust and the onset of the Cold War, David Mayers examines the complicated interaction between policy, as conceived in Washington, and implementation on the ground in Europe and Asia. By so doing, he also sheds needed light on the fragility, ambigu- ities, and enduring urgency of diplomacy and its crucial function in inter- national politics. David Mayers teaches at Boston University, where he holds a joint profes- sorship in the History and Political Science departments. His previous books include Cracking the Monolith: US Policy Against the Sino-Soviet Alliance, 1949–1955 (1986), George Kennan and the Dilemmas of US Foreign Policy (1988), The Ambassadors and America’s Soviet Policy (1995), Wars and Peace: The Future Americans Envisioned, 1861–1991 (1998), and Dissenting Voices in America’s Rise to Power (2007).

  • House of Representatives
    State of New Hampshire House of Representatives For Immediate Release March 27, 2017 CONTACT: Rep. Steve Shurtleff (603) 491-1166 Winant Memorial Construction to Begin in April; Dedication in June CONCORD, NEW HAMPSHIRE – Construction is scheduled to begin April 3 for the memorial statue and plaza honoring New Hampshire’s Depression-era Governor John Gilbert Winant. There will be a ground-breaking ceremony on this date, beginning at 9:00am. Sited on the grounds of the N.H. State Library in Concord, the statue will face the State House, where Winant was the first New Hampshire governor since Colonial times to serve three terms. Dedication of the memorial is scheduled for June 30. Created by sculptor Brett Grill and awaiting placement in the plaza, the statue depicts Winant standing in a relaxed pose, hand extended in welcoming passers-by to sit beside him on a bronze bench. The plaza floor will extend 11 by 13 feet, landscaped with small trees, a 1920s-era lamppost and a “knee wall,” echoing the wall by the State House, where Winant would often sit during the Depression to offer unemployed men enough money for a meal and a place to spend the night. Led by Chairman Steve Shurtleff of Penacook, a bipartisan committee of New Hampshire legislators, administrators, historians, and other citizens has been meeting regularly since 2013 to plan for the memorial. “John Winant was one of the most remarkable and important Americans in the first half of the 20th century,” Shurtleff said in announcing the construction of the memorial. “This effort is the result of many who have dedicated countless hours to its planning and financial support, not the least of whom was our late Commissioner of Cultural Resources Van McLeod, who frankly served as the heart and soul of this effort.” McLeod died last year in Concord at age 70.

Lewis, Ph.D. ________________________________ Co-Chair: Theodore A. Wilson, Ph.D. Date approved: 06 December 2016 iii Abstract In late spring, 1941, a small group of U.S. Army officers traveled to Britain to plan for Anglo-American cooperation if and when the U.S. entered World War II. Because the United States was still a neutral country and to prevent potential enemies from knowing the group's purpose, the U.S. Army called its mission to Britain the "U.S. Army Special Observer Group" (SPOBS). From May, 1941 until June, 1942, SPOBS (known as U.S. Army Forces in the British Isles or USAFBI after January 8, 1942) developed plans with the British for establishing U.S forces in the British Isles. Changing strategic conditions however, made much of this work obsolete. As a result, the Allies had to develop new plans for establishing U.S.

  • “He Walked Alone: a Biography 1970F John Gilbert Winant. by Bernard Bellush
    “He Walked Alone: A Biography 1970f John Gilbert Winant. By Bernard Bellush. (New York: Humanities Press. 1969. Pp. viii, 246. $9.50)” — Spring 1970. A review of the Bernard Bellush biography of Winant in the Spring 1970 issue of Historic New Hampshire, pub- lished by the New Hampshire Historical Society, took a more critical view of the book, compared to long-time Con- cord newspaperman and Winant friend, Leon W. Anderson’s analysis (see elsewhere here online). Writes reviewer Charles Lewis Taylor, now emeritus professor of political science at Virginia Tech’s College of Liberal Arts and Sciences: “Persons writing history are of two kinds. One is the antiquarian who rummages around the dusty facts of past events. The other is the scholar, interested in studying the past as a matter of relevance to the present and future. Mr. Bellush is the antiquarian. The report of his searches is interesting for those of us who enjoy old things but not satisfying for those of us who believe that history ought to be analyzed. Taylor acknowledges Winant was a “complicated and tragic man…likeable…idealistic to a fault…worked hard.” But refers to Historian Allan Nevins’ observation in his foreword, “a great disproportion between his abilities, his hopes, his aspirations, and his achievements.” Taylor admits these things are “evident enough in the book,” but it’s the analysis of these qualities that are missing. Taylor wonders: “How could Winant fail so miserably at a not-very-exacting Princeton and later greatly enjoy the company of the intellectuals of Britain? If he were a serious Presidential candidate in 1936, where is the evi- dence? ..

    N E W S L E T T E R Volume 53, No. 1 Spring 2016 SOCIETY CONSERVES RARE ABRAHAM LINCOLN POLITICAL BANNER The New Hampshire Historical Society has been collecting historical items for almost two centuries, and our museum collection alone contains more than 33,000 objects. Living up to the Society’s mission to save, preserve, and share New Hampshire history means not only considering the acquisition of objects that might improve our collections but also continuing to research and learn more about our existing collections. The challenge is to fully document and provide context for our existing collections; the reward is an ongoing process of rediscovery. In 2014 the Society received funding from the Institute of Museum and Library Sciences to research, catalog, and produce high-quality digital images of more than 1,700 items in the historic textiles collection. During the 18-month project, museum staff and textile experts developed a thorough description of each object, including its origin, provenance, and historical relevance. One of these items was a banner painted by Detail from political campaign banner for Abraham Lincoln, New Hampshire artist Edward L. Custer (1837–81), Edward L. Custer (1837–81), Manchester, NH, 1860. The inset which had been used to campaign for the presidency of contrasts the initial condition of the banner with the results of its conservation by the Williamstown Art Conservation Center.
