Hoover Signed Book: The Ordeal of Woodrow Wilson
<B>Herbert Hoover Signed Book: </B></I><B><I>The Ordeal of Woodrow Wilson.</B></I></B></I> (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1958), first edition, 318 pages, illustrated, blue cloth with silver lettering on spine, 8vo (6.25" x 9.25"), signed and inscribed on the front free endpaper "<I>To Mrs. Gladys T Bolanz with the Good Wishes of Herbert Hoover May 1 1958…</B></I>". This book, when published, was a surprise to the literary world. Here was a former Republican president writing a book about one of his predecessors, a Democrat! To quote Hoover from this book: "...He was more than just an idealist: he was the personification of the heritage of the American people. He brought spiritual concepts to the peace table. He was a born crusader..." About very good condition, some minor staining on the cover, light shelfwear, and light soiling on edges.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
