Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering an eventful period in Herbert Hoover's career—and, more specifically, his life as a political pugilist from 1933 to 1955—this previously unknown memoir was composed and revised by the 31st president during the 1940s and 1950s—and then, surprisingly, set aside. This work recounts Hoover's family life after March 4, 1933, his myriad philanthropic interests, and, most of all, his unrelenting “crusade against collectivism” in American life. Aside from its often feisty account of Hoover's political activities during the Roosevelt and Truman eras, and its window on Hoover's private life and campaigns for good causes, The Crusade Years invites readers to reflect on the factors that made his extraordinarily fruitful postpresidential years possible. The pages of this memoir recount the story of Hoover's later life, his abiding political philosophy, and his vision of the nation that gave him the opportunity for service. This is, in short, a remarkable saga told in the former president's own words and in his own way that will appeal as much to professional historians and political scientists as it will lay readers interested in history.

Book excerpt: The Great Depression and the New Deal. For generations, the collective American consciousness has believed that the former ruined the country and the latter saved it. Endless praise has been heaped upon President Franklin Delano Roosevelt for masterfully reining in the Depression’s destructive effects and propping up the country on his New Deal platform. In fact, FDR has achieved mythical status in American history and is considered to be, along with Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln, one of the greatest presidents of all time. But would the Great Depression have been so catastrophic had the New Deal never been implemented? In FDR’s Folly, historian Jim Powell argues that it was in fact the New Deal itself, with its shortsighted programs, that deepened the Great Depression, swelled the federal government, and prevented the country from turning around quickly. You’ll discover in alarming detail how FDR’s federal programs hurt America more than helped it, with effects we still feel today, including: • How Social Security actually increased unemployment • How higher taxes undermined good businesses • How new labor laws threw people out of work • And much more This groundbreaking book pulls back the shroud of awe and the cloak of time enveloping FDR to prove convincingly how flawed his economic policies actually were, despite his good intentions and the astounding intellect of his circle of advisers. In today’s turbulent domestic and global environment, eerily similar to that of the 1930s, it’s more important than ever before to uncover and understand the truth of our history, lest we be doomed to repeat it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because I was born in 1941, at the very end of the "Great Depression" (1929 -1941), I have no personal memories of the those years. But 65 years later, I can still recall the things my parents told of their lives during those years.The things mom and dad experienced during the "Great Depression" shaped the rest of their lives. They lived according to economic and moral rules that they fashioned for themselves, based on their Depression-era experiences. "Don't buy anything on time; don't pay interest." "Waste not, want not." My mother had ten brothers and sisters. When mom's mother died, the older siblings began to take care of those who were younger. And when the older siblings got old, the younger siblings in turn took care of them.By the time, I decided to write accounts of the "Great Depression," my parents were gone. And then one day, for no special reason, I decided to collect tales of the "Great Depression." The thirty accounts found in this book, are the thirty stories that I like best of the accounts that I have gathered over the last 30 years. This book tells the stories of thirty ordinary Americans who lived through the "Great Depression" (1929 -1941).
