The Memoirs of Herbert Hoover

Meer over het boek

The third volume of Hoover's "Memoirs" presents a critical analysis of the New Deal and the Great Depression, emphasizing his belief that the Federal Reserve's actions largely caused the economic crisis. Hoover argues that the 1933 bank panic was unnecessary and blames Roosevelt's behavior as President-elect for exacerbating the situation. Through nearly five hundred pages, he offers a unique perspective on the national issues stemming from this era, reflecting on the political dynamics and decisions that shaped the course of American history during the 1930s.
