Margaret Coit's 1957 biography of Bernard Baruch was written with Baruch's cooperation and access to his papers, producing a favorable account of his life and public service.
The work portrays Baruch's rise in finance, his role in U.S.
wartime logistics and policy, and his influence on multiple administrations.
Despite its access, the book was reportedly disliked by Baruch, who later withdrew permission to use his private papers.
The biography has been used as a primary source by researchers studying Baruch's public and private roles during the early 20th century.
Its hagiographic tone shapes many contemporary perceptions of Baruch, while later scholarship has examined omitted material and critiques.
