"Nearly fifty years after  his death, Herbert Hoover returns as the ultimate revisionist historian, prosecuting his heavily docmumented indictment of US foreign policy before, during, and after the Second World War. Brilliantly edited by George Nash, Freedom Betrayed is as pasionate as it is provocative. Many do noubt will dispute Hoover's strategic vision. But few can dispute the historical significance of this unique volume, published even as Americans of the twenty-first century debate their moral and military obligations."
