Herbert Clark Hoover (1874 – 1964) was an American engineer, businessman, and politician who served as the 31st President of the United States from 1929 to 1933. The stock market crashed shortly after Hoover took office, and the Great Depression became the central issue of his presidency. In the midst of an ongoing economic crisis, he was decisively defeated by Democratic nominee Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 presidential election. After leaving office, Hoover became increasingly conservative, and he strongly criticized Roosevelt's foreign policy and New Deal domestic agenda, both topics in this book.
