hoover.it was not something i expect it to do way back after getting my dissertation completed and looking for a job on the academic job market. it was commissioned to write a biography of hoover. i thought it made sense because hoover as he mentioned was a friend to patronizing saintly figure for many of those embattled and beleaguered conservatives in the new deal. it made sense to me to transition to hoover. >> host: and battled and beleaguered us how many feel today. one of the interesting things you have said, george is g, it is not necessarily as bad as it was in the 70s. not least there some conservative magazines for those who don't see hope in the political process. >> guest: two points to make there. in the hoover. and even into the 70s, there was a developing conservative presidents and william f. buckley junior with a major figure in that conservative presidents. but in 1960, with all the conservative intellectuals in the united states into one room of modest size. now we have bee

>> herbert hoover founded what is called today the hoover institution. it started in world war one and its aftermath as he began to collect documentation relating to the war, particularly his own relief work in and he expanded the mission. he wanted to find and save for future historians tremendous amounts of material that might otherwise be lost or blocked that would document this immense human tragedy. it started as a war collection and has grown over the years to him much broader institution with think-tank characteristics. >> a fabulous archive on soviet material. the world premiere archive on that. >> i believe so. there is much that that is not elsewhere. the story is told that he ended up at the hoover institution doing research for some of his later writings and had wreckers that he obviously could not have access to. >> you have written that hoover said that this might be the institution with its library, his greatest accomplishment. very interesting. just say a few words about that and we will close for the break. >> said that in 1959 at the en

where jaeger hoover was going up -- where jaeger hoover -- j.dgar hoover was going after subversives. he had a specific definition of subversives. it is interesting. one of the impacts of this massive effort focusing on defeatedes was that it this confidence in law enforcement to go after the things that americans would expect a law enforcement agency to be going after. for instance, despite all of the surveillance that had taken place and the dirty tricks operations where informers were inside movements and doing damage to people, despite all of that, we never had intelligence gathered that led to the stopping of a bomb, any bombings that were planned. the law enforcement that was needed was damaged by this focus which was meant to stop movements and destroy individuals. >> i want to show a piece of video with john raines again from this event that we covered in philadelphia. he shows how, even to this day, how frustrated he is with the system. i wanted to ask if you saw him react this way. >> there are thousands and thousands and thousands of

hoover. 33 years after hoover was president was the late 196 0s and it wasn't like democrats were using hoover against nixon and reagan and the bushes. by that time, it wasn't working anymore. so think about how long ago -- if you're under 50, you barely remember him. if you're under 35, you were barely born when carter was president. so this is a message to the republican base of elderly people. and it really doesn't resonate anymore, anyway. as you point out, it's factually inaccurate about the carter presidency. which is not a successful presidency. but not for the reasons that they describe. and i kind of lived a little bit of this. i was an intern in the jimmy carter white house when i was in college, then after college, i felt he was too conservative for me and i went and worked for ted kennedy in 1980. and there were quite a number of other liberals at the time who did the same thing. because we thought that carter wasn't liberal enough. >> you sort of embody that split we were talking

when it did not hold and it'd deepened, hoover found himself facing increasing pressure from the left for deeper expenditures. he started to hold the line against that and became a fiscal conservative to balance the budget and save the gold standard and a republican in the last two years of his life. he got the reason why attacked as supposedly not doing anything. including some policies that might not have been all of that effective. on the other hand, he was valiantly struggling against a total turn such as he saw coming in the new deal. >> editor george nash on the missing link of hoover's memoirs. in a few weeks, military strategist and former assistant defense secretary will take your calls and comments on the mideast and the wars in iraq and afghanistan. this month on book tv, join the discussion on camilla joseph's new biography. enter the chat room. >> last week, the chair of the senator intelligence committee accused the cia of disrupting investigation. cia director later denied her allegations. the next day, the visor chair spoke on the senate floor. he said there may be a n
