Synopsis

Hoover's book was meant as a tribute to his former chief, but is ti easy to suspect that anger and hurt might underlie a portrayal that presents the worst as well as the best in one of our greatest statesmen. What makes Hoover's memoir especially valuable to readers already familiar with the story are matters of tone and interpretation which Hoover himself... probably did not notice that he was making available. -- David Burner, The Atlantic Woodrow Wilson Center Press.

About the Author:

Herbert Hoover: self-made millionaire, dedicated philanthropist, and pioneering humanitarian, he had finished the war as Wilson's appointed head of the American Food Administration. There was just one problem--he couldn't decide whether to run as a Democrat or a Republican.
