Summary: At long last a Ben Cohen biography
Comment: This is just a very fine biography of a virtually forgotten New Deal giant, Benjamin V. Cohen. Cohen was one-half of the famed New Deal drafting team along with Thomas Corcoran. Among their handiwork are such epic statutes as the Securities Act of 1933, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and the Public Utility Holding Company Act--monuments of the New Deal to say the least. Perhaps Cohen's slide into obscurity stemmed from his desire to avoid the limelight--just the opposite of Tommy the Cork. While his New Deal contributions are immense, the book explains that Cohen was more more than just a major architect of the New Deal. He was involved in Zionist activities; helped draft the Lend Lease legislation; served in the State Department after the Second War; and slipped into the role of "elder statesman" during his retirement. But above all, and always, Cohen was a superb and brilliantly-gifted lawyer. All of the many dimensions of Ben Cohen are in this extraordinary biography. Perhaps his slide into obscruity will be reversed and Cohen recognized for his significant accomplishments.
