Hoover. New York & London: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1934. Hardcover, 1st
edition. Signed on flyleaf opposite front cover. Herbert Clark Hoover
(1874-1964) served as the 31st U.S. President from 1929-1933. Hoover,
who had headed the Food Administration to provide relief to Europe and Russia
during and after WWI, had served as Secretary of Commerce under
Presidents Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge (1921-1928) was a capable
administrator, but he was blamed for the Great Depression and was defeated in
his bid for re-election by Franklin D. Roosevelt. While Hoover states in the
Introduction to this book that "it is not my purpose to criticize individual
men" (10), the volume contains a detailed criticism of the policies of the
New Deal, which he calls a system of "national regimentation". Pinhead sized
spot at lower right of signature page. Overall, fine
