"As a work of historical fiction, Andrew Blencowe's The Goddess of Fortune reveals the private foibles, quirks, and lusts of the famous (and often rich) of the period. Beautiful Louise, while only 24 years old, uses her intelligence, wiles, and body to dominate the so-called "stronger sex". The duplicity of Roosevelt and his so-called Brains Trust is exposed and the doubts of the urbane gentleman, Henry Morgenthau, are made clear. In words commonly attributed to Lenin--the best way to destroy the capitalist system is to debauch the currency--Kaito Sasaki of the Bank of Tokyo proves just that with his printing of U.S. 100 dollar bills. How could the end goals of the Axis come to fruition given these events? Goddess explores just how, and in doing so brings to light in imaginative prose the lives of historical figures we have only known from our history books." [back cover].
