The names of most of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's cabinet members are well known. Anyone familiar with FDR's administration will remember Henry Morgenthau, Jr., Cordell Hull, Harold Ickes, Frances Perkins, Henry Wallace, and James Farley. One member of that circle, however, has remained a virtual unknown: Harry H. Woodring, the recalcitrant Secretary of War who was forced by Roosevelt to resign from the cabinet. It is doubtful that the story of any of Roosevelt's cabinet members is more interesting than that of Woodring. With the breakdown of world peace in the 1930s, the matter of national defense became a major concern, and the United States military establishment became increasingly important. Woodring's role in Washington during this time was a critical one; his dealings with Roosevelt were extensive, and on many key issues his influence was considerable. Why, then, his lack of notoriety? The simple fact is that until now almost nothing has been written of Woodring's service as Secretary of War. He was one of the few individuals closely associated with Roosevelt who did not write an autobiography, memoirs, or some other personal account of what took place during those years. Keith D. McFarland is the first scholar to have had access to Woodring's personal papers. Drawing from this new material, as well as from Woodring's official correspondence and from personal interviews with the members of Woodring's immediate family and dozens of Woodring's associates, he provides in this volume the careful study that has long been needed. McFarland first traces Woodring's early political career in Kansas. As a Democratic Governor from 1931 to 1933, Woodring worked successfully with the Republican-dominated legislature to alleviate many of the physical and economic hardships facing residents of the state during the Depression, Nevertheless, he lost his bid for re-election to Alf M. Landon. When Roosevelt won the presidency that same year, he appointed Woodring as Assistant Secretary of War. Woodring served the ...

In diesem Artikel wird Gesellschaftskritik im Bereich der Sozialen Arbeit aus der subjektiven Sicht des Autors reflektiert. Gesellschaftskritik wird als eine 'Bewegung' in Zeit (1960-2002) und Raum (alte Bundesrepublik - West-Berlin - neue Bundesrepublik - Soziale Arbeit) sichtbar. In der Zusammenschau der 'sich wandelnden Verhältnisse' und der sich in Korrespondenz damit ebenfalls ändernden Sichtweisen der KritikerInnen wird diese Bewegung - vielleicht - nachvollziehbar. Der Autor betont besonders die Zusammengehörigkeit von Kritik und Selbst-Reflexion.
