Herbert Hoover and Dwight D. Eisenhower • A Documentary History

Herbert Hoover and Dwight D. Eisenhower • A Documentary History

Edited with Commentary by Timothy Walch
This volume offers core selections from and analysis of primary source materials documenting the uneasy collaboration between two iconic Americans, Herbert Hoover and Dwight Eisenhower. As former Republican presidents, both men found ample opportunity to work together in common cause in the years after World War II, and discussed everything from the contentious 1952 Republican nomination fight to the second Hoover Commission to reorganize the Executive Branch. Included here are letters, reports, and telegrams that the two men sent directly to one another; diary entries and memoranda that document their meetings; relevant passages from speeches and press commentary; and candid comments that the two men made about each other in letters to friends and associates.
