Herbert Hoover and the Great Depression

In this balanced evaluation of Hoover Administration and its efforts to deal with domestic problems of Great Depression, Harris Gaylord Warren cuts through myths that surround a crucial and insufficiently understood period of American political history. He outlines conditions that produced depression, and political and economic philosophy that underlay Hoover's actions. Although sharply critical of Hoover's lack of vision, he demonstrates that in many ways Hoover has been unfairly judged. For, Mr. Warren notes, Hoover, the Great Humanitarian, Great Engineer, Great Secretary, was the embodiment of an idea, a legendary ideal, a portrait of intentions and not a picture of realities
