Peter Moreira discusses his book, The Jew Who Defeated Hitler: Henry Morgenthau Jr., FDR, And How We Won The War, with host Gilad Halpern.

Its protagonist is one of the most prominent Jews in American political history – certainly the single most prominent in the first half of the 20th century – who served as the Secretary of the Treasury between 1934-1945 during the Roosevelt administration, and as such was instrumental in financing what was the most expensive human endeavor to date: The Second World War.
