| Summary: | 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.

Aside from its often feisty account of Hoover's political activities during the Roosevelt and Truman. |
