About
Harry Lloyd Hopkins was born in Sioux City, Iowa, USA. He was an American politician. He was one of Franklin D. Roosevelt's closest advisers. He was one of the architects of the New Deal, especially the relief programs of the Works Progress Administration, which he directed and built into the largest employer in the country. In World War II, he was Roosevelt's chief diplomatic adviser and troubleshooter and was a key policy maker in the Lend-Lease program that sent an eventual $50 billion aid to the Allies; Winston Churchill devotes in his memoirs to this "natural leader of men" who had "a flaming soul" a veritable panegyric.
