The Confidante: The Untold Story of the Woman Who Helped Win WWII and Shape Modern America 

Monday, March 2, 7 pm 

Anna Rosenberg, trusted advisor to FDR and Truman during WWII, was at the pivot points of history from the New Deal to the 1960s.  

Gorham’s book is the first to fully recognize Rosenberg’s remarkable life and contributions to America’s success during and after World War II, and her profound influence in shaping and implementing many of the nation’s most significant public policies. 

Books will be for sale and the event will conclude with a book signing.
