Considered an irredeemably flawed and catastrophic president during
the Depression era, Herbert Hoover has been studied more
objectively by postwar historians, with revisionist scholarship
culminating in his rehabilitation as a practitioner of one variety
of progressivism. Even Hoover's sharpest critics recognize many of
his once unheeded accomplishments. This extensive bibliography,
including more than 2600 entries, provides access to an
astronomical amount of Hoover-related materials attesting to
extraordinary public service and longevity. Selective in approach,
the volume cites sources depicting the continuum of contemporary
and historical viewpoints and includes all key writings in Hoover
historiography. Following a brief introduction and chronology of
Hoover's life, the work begins with chapters covering manuscript
and archival sources, writings of Herbert Hoover, and biographical
publications. Chapters 4 and 5 are devoted to his early years and
to his mature years prior to his election. The Presidential
election of 1928 is covered in chapter 6; chapter 7 cites sources
on the Hoover Administration; and chapter 8 covers the election of
1932. Hoover's administration associates are covered in chapter 9,
and his post-presidential years covered in chapter 10. Concluding
chapters are devoted to Hoover's philosophy, the personal lives of
the Hoovers, historiographical materials, and iconography of the
Hoovers. The work also includes a section on periodicals and author
and subject indexes.
