Make Herbert Hoover great again: What others can learn from one man's post-presidency
Fox News
Jared Cohen, bestselling author, reveals the full life of President Herbert Hoover, who accomplished a great deal in his post-White House years — far beyond the Great Depression and "Hoovervilles."
Hoover served as secretary of commerce under Warren Harding and Calvin Coolidge, coordinating disaster relief after the Great Mississippi Flood of 1927. Hoover devoted himself to ideas, writing and railing against the New Deal and cultivating what would become the modern conservative movement. Hoover didn’t think former presidents should sell their services. Truman dispatched the then-72-year-old Hoover on a 57-day expedition over 35,000 miles to 22 countries on three continents. Hoover helped heal a divided nation, bringing Kennedy and Richard Nixon together and making peace after a close and bitter election. Jared Cohen is a New York Times bestselling author. His latest book is "Life After Power: Seven Presidents and Their Search for Purpose Beyond the White House" (Feb. 2024, S&S).
