This first scholarly biography of Hershey (1893 - 1977) and the
first historical study of the draft from 1940 to 1970 presents
valuable insights into the operation of the political system and
the national defense policy. Serving as draft director under six
different presidents, he played an important role in home-front
mobilization, the evolution of Cold War politics, the treatment of
conscientious objectors, blacks, women, and in the Vietnam protest.
Flynn reveals the interaction between the private man and the
public person.
Originally published in 1985.
