eBook PDF Hoover: An Extraordinary Life in Extraordinary Times [FreeEbook]eBook PDF Hoover:An ExtraordinaryLife inExtraordinaryTimes [Free Ebook]Description"An exemplary biography—exhaustively researched, fair-minded and easy toread. It can nestle on the same shelf as David McCullough’s Truman, a high compliment indeed." —The Wall Street JournalThe definitivebiography of Herbert Hoover, one of the most remarkable Americans of thetwentieth century—a wholly original account that will forever change theway Americans understand the man, his presidency, his battle against theGreat Depression, and their own history.An impoverished orphan who builta fortune. A great humanitarian. A president elected in a landslide andthen resoundingly defeated four years later. Arguably the father of bothNew Deal liberalism and modern conservatism, Herbert Hoover lived one ofthe most extraordinary American lives of the twentieth century. Yethowever astonishing, his accomplishments are often eclipsed by theperception that Hoover was inept and heartless in the face of the GreatDepression.Now, Kenneth Whyte vividly recreates Hoover’s rich anddramatic life in all its complex glory. He follows Hoover through hisIowa boyhood, his cutthroat business career, his brilliant rescue ofmillions of lives during World War I and the 1927 Mississippi floods,his misconstrued presidency, his defeat at the hands of a ruthlessFranklin Roosevelt, his devastating years in the political wilderness,his return to grace as Truman's emissary to help European refugees afterWorld War II, and his final vindication in the days of Kennedy's "NewFrontier." Ultimately, Whyte brings to light Hoover’s complexities andcontradictions—his modesty and ambition, his ruthlessness and extremegenerosity—as well as his profound political legacy.Hoover: AnExtraordinary Life in Extraordinary Times is the epic, poignant story ofthe deprived boy who, through force of will, made himself the mostaccomplished figure in the land, and who experienced a range ofachievements and failures unmatched by any American of his, or perhapsany, era. Here, for the first time, is the definitive biography thatfully captures the colossal scale of Hoover’s momentous life andvolatile times.
