In the tumultuous years since Bernard Baruch first entered public life, he has been intimately involved with most of the crucial issues of our time. In this, the final volume in Baruch's memoirs, the Elder Statesman recalls the exciting role he played for nearly fifty years in national and international affairs. The book begins with Baruch's departure from Wall Street to enter public life and covers in depth the problems that confronted him as Chairman of the War Industries Board during World War One.
