Figures including Dean Acheson, Averell Harriman, C. Douglas Dillon, McGeorge Bundy and, most famously, President Franklin D. Roosevelt prominently…led the nation. Numerous "Grotties" also held leadership positions in the State Department, CIA, and other areas of government. These Grotonians embodied their school's commitment to public service, from World War II and the Marshall Plan to the Cuban Missile Crisis and Vietnam War. DIVINE FIRE explains how the alumni of one small secondary school could exercise such great influence. The profiles in DIVINE FIRE offer not only a study of twentieth-century American policy, but also a view into the education of a leadership class.
