Table of Contents

By far my greatest debt, once again, is to my wife, Jean Anne, who makes writing a merry adventure and who brings to editing the skills honed as a writing instructor at universities in Texas and Ohio and as director of publications at the National Humanities Center. No words of mine can convey how much she has given and goes on giving.

At Times Books, the late Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. invited me to write this volume. We were friends for sixty years, and I am saddened that he is not here to scrutinize the book he commissioned. His successor, Sean Wilentz, made a number of helpful suggestions, and senior editor Robin Dennis devoted an extraordinary amount of attention to a close and acute reading of the manuscript.

I also am grateful to the corps of revisionist historians who have labored indefatigably to provide us with a more nuanced portrait of Hoover than we have ever had before and to the staff of the Herbert Hoover Presidential Library who have made that possible.
