<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>It has been said that Herbert Hoover was responsible for saving more lives than any other person in history. This phenomenal achievement, long obscured by the trauma of the Great Depression, is the focus of the second volume in George Nash's definitive life of Hoover, which has been hailed as one of the great biographies in American political history (<em>Wall Street Journal</em>).</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>At the outbreak of World War I, Hoover was a wealthy mining engineer and businessman living in London. In a short time, he became the founder and brilliant director of an unprecedented international relief organization, which provided desperately needed food to more than 9,000,000 Belgian and French citizens trapped between the German army of occupation and the British naval blockade. By 1919, when his Commission for Relief in Belgium closed its operations, it had expended nearly $1 billion--and had created a twentieth-century hero.</p><p>By then, Hoover had irrevocably embarked on the slippery road of public life, which eventually led him to the White House door. This book--based on research conducted on three continents--is the second volume in Dr. Nash's definitive account of Hoover's life.</p>
