Herbert Hoover: A Bibliography

Patrick Obrien

Considered an irredeemably flawed and catastrophic president during the Depression era, Herbert Hoover has been studied more objectively by post-war historians, with revisionist scholarship culminating in his rehabilitation as a practitioner of one variety of progressivism. Even Hoover’s sharpest critics recognise many of his once unheeded accomplishments. This extensive bibliography, including more than 2600 entries, provides access to 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. Following chapters are devoted to his early years; his mature years prior to his election; the Presidential election of 1928; sources on the Hoover administration; the election of 1932; and Hoover’s administration years. Concluding chapters are devoted to Hoover’s philosophy, the personal lives of the Hoovers, historiographical materials, and iconography of the Hoovers.
