Bernard M. Baruch Jr., the son and namesake of the famous financier Bernard M. Baruch and Anne Griffin Baruch, was born on March 17, 1902, in New York City. He graduated from Milton Academy, Milton, Massachusetts, and in 1923 from Harvard University where he majored in French Literature. He was commissioned in the Naval Reserve in 1937 and remained on active duty until November 1945, then returned to the Reserves, retiring in 1962 as a captain.

Baruch made significant contributions to the field of naval intelligence, specifically in the area of intelligence sightings of enemy ships, and in 1950 he developed the Merchant Ship Intelligence program. He wrote the manual entitled "Communications Instructions for Reporting Vital Intelligence Sightings for Airborne and Waterborne Sources".

A resident of Manhattan, he was a member of the New York Stock Exchange from 1928 to 1936 and was in the investment business. He died in 1992 at the age of ninety. His sister, Renee Samstag of Manhattan, survived him.
