Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Reading this book is a searing experience. On almost every page Hoover calls on the reader to think differently about things the conventional wisdom supposedly settled decades ago. Everything is meticulously documented, and no one else in human history collected documents the way Hoover did. Will Hoover's version of events now be the definitive account of World War II? Of course not. But the definitive account of the war can no longer be written without taking Hoover's work into consideration. And it ought not be enough for those who would dispute him to dismiss him as a sore loser who never got over losing the 1932 election. They should accept the challenge of showing specifically where he is mistaken.
