Hoover vs. Roosevelt : Two Presidents' Battle over Feeding Europe and Going ...

Stackpole Books

In the Depression election of 1932, Franklin Roosevelt crushed Herbert Hoover in one of the most lopsided presidential contests in American history. The White House rivals remained enemies long after: Hoover opposed the New Deal, and FDR found Hoover a convenient punching bag in elections throughout the Thirties. From Coolidge\u2019s death in 1933 to Truman\u2019s departure in 1953, Hoover was the only living former president of either party, and he maintained a strong international reputation, thanks to his achievements as an engineer and his efforts during World War I to organize aid for the starving millions of Europe. And yet, in nearly all accounts of the ferocious debate over American aid to Europe before the U.S. entered World War II, Hoover\u2019s role has been overlooked. \nHoover versus\n\nHoover vs. Roosevelt\nTwo Presidents\u2019 Battle over Feeding Europe and Going to War\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Roya;
