TRANSFORMING THE WAR DEPARTMENT: HENRY STIMSON

<p>Author and U.S. Army War College Assistant Professor Grant Golub is in the studio with guest host Jadwiga Biskupksa to discuss his new book, <em><a href="cambridge.org/us/universitypress/subjects/hist… in Washington: Henry Stimson, the US Army, and the Politics of American Power in World War II</a></em>. Grant examines the role of Secretary of War Henry Stimson during World War II. He argues that Stimson and his team transformed the War Department from a dysfunctional bureaucracy into a powerful political actor and an energetic player in the Roosevelt administration. The book uses Stimson as a lens to explore the origins of the military's rising influence over foreign policy. This transformation allowed Stimson to successfully push for a more interventionist foreign policy and secure a central voice for the Army in government decision-making.</p>
