About the Program
Herbert Hoover writes about World War II and the Cold War in what's been called a magnum opus, published 50 years after the former president completed it. In it, he sharply criticizes the wartime decisions of Presidents Roosevelt and Truman and analyzes their consequences. The presidential writings were edited by Hoover expert George Nash, who discusses them with presidential historian Richard Norton Smith, the author of "An Uncommon Man: The Triumph of Herbert Hoover,"
