A Soviet Spy at the Center of Bretton Woods: Harry Dexter White and the Ongoing Threat of Espionage

Bringing to bear new and striking archival evidence, author Benn Steil offers the most compelling portrait yet of the complex and controversial figure of Harry Dexter White in his new book, "The Battle of Bretton Woods: John Maynard Keynes, Harry Dexter White, and the Making of a New World Order."

Not a traditional Soviet spy per se; But one of the architects of the new financial order of the 20th century which had to include every global industrial power. White helped set the foundations of globalisation.

Oh yes a traditional spy, he gave the Soviets the plates to print occupation money at the end of the war, They printed over $300,000, at that time it was a lot and it's the US taxpayer who ended up footing the note and new plates had to be made. In 1934, Roosevelt established the Export Import Bank to finance increased trade with the Soviet Union. During World War II, Chase was AMTORG'S principal bank in handling the many billions of dollars of Lend Lease transactions for Russia. Roosevelt went all out in supporting the Soviets perhaps because all three of his personal assistants, Alger Hiss, Lauchlin Currie and Harry Dexter White, were identified as Soviet agents.
