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 Coolidges death in 1933 to Trumans departure in 1953, Hoover was the <em>only</em> 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, Hoovers role has been overlooked.</p><p><em>Hoover vs. Roosevelt</em> tells the story of how the U.S. entered World War II through the lens of Herbert Hoover. The debate over entering World War II before Pearl Harbor remains one of the most contentious in American history. Historian Arthur Schlesinger called it the most savage political debate of my lifetimemore vicious, that great scholar of American history thought, than the arguments over McCarthyism and Vietnam. Most accounts have focused on isolationism versus internationalism, Lindbergh versus Roosevelt, but the story is deeper and more complex than that and involves the transition of an older era of international relationsexemplified by Hoover, who believed in the Geneva Accord, the Hague Conventions, and public-private partnerships to address world crisesto the modern era of total war.</p><p>Widely and deeply researched in an array of rarely used secondary and primary sources, both domestic and international, <em>Hoover vs. Roosevelt</em> brings a fresh perspective to a time in our nations history when our country was deeply divided over what now seems a done deal.</p>...(*_*)9780811769709_<p>Herbert Hoover, out of office since his defeat in 1932 by Franklin Roosevelt, maintained a strong international reputation due to his achievements as an engineer and his success during World War I and beyond in organizing aid for the starving millions of Europe.
