The culmination of an extraordinary literary project that Herbert Hoover launched during World War II, his magnum opus - at last published nearly fifty years after its completion - offers a revisionist reexamination of the war and its cold war aftermath and a sweeping indictment of the 'lost statesmanship' of Franklin Roosevelt.
In a book Herbert Hoover called his "magnum opus"--finally published nearly fifty years after its completion--the former president offers a revisionist reexamination of World War II, including his frank evaluation of Franklin D. Roosevelt's foreign policies before Pearl Harbor and during the war, and the war's consequences, including the expansion of the Soviet empire and the eruption of the Cold War.
