IMO Sutton's FDR & Wall Street is all wrong when it comes to the DuPont sponsored coup against FDR After his reelection in 1936 Roosevelt cut spending which caused a recession and as 1940 approached FDR appointed Wall Street GOPS, for example Stimson (Skull & Bones), and "Wild Bill" Donovan to high positions, Stimson was named Secretary of Wall & Donovan was named to head the fledging OSS, also Knox, Landon's 1936 running mate, was named Secretary of the Navy. Some guess that his was done because FDR needed GOP support for America's coming entry into WW2, nonsense, Wall Street loves war, insofar as getting grassroots GOP support that was out of the question and was never an FRD goal. IMO the attempted coup was a warning to FRD do what we want or will we get ride of you at anytime. So FDR virtually abanded "The New Deal" after the 1936 election and appointed members of the unnamed military-industrial to his inner circle. Since that time all Demcratic administrations have been loaded with Wall Street Republicans appointed to key defense, intelligence, and foreign relations positions. Averill Harriman switched from the GOP in 1928 to Democrat and was from 1933 to just before his death a key Democratic foreign policy advisor. He and Prescott Bush were business partners and both were members of "Skull & Bones", aka "The Brotherhood of Death." Our current Secretary of State, John Kerry, is also a member of that secret society, so much for Obama not being a warmonger.
