Herbert Hoover and Poland is the first of a series of documentaries stemming largely from the Hoover Institution archives and published by Hoover Institution Press. It unfolds a hitherto little-known chapter of America's manifold involvement in Poland's well-being and independence - perhaps the most important link in the two-hundred-year friendship between the two freedom-loving nations. -- From dust jacket.

Herbert Hoover's "magnum opus"—at last published nearly fifty years after its completion—offers a revisionist reexamination of World War II and its cold war aftermath and a sweeping indictment of the "lost statesmanship" of Franklin Roosevelt. Hoover offers his frank evaluation of Roosevelt's foreign policies before Pearl Harbor and policies during the war, as well as an examination of the war's consequences, including the expansion of the Soviet empire at war's end and the eruption of the cold war against the Communists.

They have the abilities, the courage and resolution of constructive statesmanship. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
