1945187482New York and London: Harper & Brothers Publishers 1945. The Morgenthau Plan 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 1000 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. hardcover

1945140948892New York and London: Harper & Brothers 1945. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. 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. <p>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.<br /> <p>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.<br /> <br /> <p>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. Harper & Brothers unknown

Signed and inscribed by author FDR's Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. 1891-1967 to his first cousin once removed James Frank Jr. The infamous Morgenthau Plan charted a course for Germany post WWII intended to revert it to a pastoral state. Senator Henrick Shipstead denounced it as "America's eternal monument of shame for the destruction of the German people." - Congressional Record Senate May 15 1946 p.5039.

Thus only 60 percent of the population could support themselves and the other 40 percent would die." - The Memoirs of Cordell Hull p.1617. When word of the plan leaked to Goebbels he exploited it to stiffen German resistance thus extending the war - and bringing considerable criticism upon Morgenthau.
