Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover’s Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath

The Hoover Institution Press and historian George H. Nash have edited Hoover’s manuscript Freedom Betrayed, the culmination of a literary project launched by Hoover during World War II that evolved into a critique of U.S. foreign policy during the war and the early years of the Cold War.Hoover argues that FDR’s prewar and wartime diplomacy had made the world safe for Stalinist Russia and triggered the Cold War. A book signing will follow the program.
