hoover's contemporaries, how well-traveled hoover, was hoover had the edge over wallace and globetrotting liberals of his age. the red indicates countries that hoover went, not wallace and the orange that countries that both went to from these connections. hoover forge views on empire, the nation, war and humans society which i see is fueling s restraint and what remains stunning horatio alger tale. i think every time you read it, it's we kwn, i think, to of you in the room hoover went from ing a quaker orphan, strung across decent relatives and oddjob to a multiniol businessman with operations on every continent. he bamone of america's most successful industrial managers, hailed as the public face of america's emergence as a global economic power. at the turn of the century. but hoover's budding fortune was built on empire. like many americans, hoover worked within the sinews of u.s., european and japanese empire as a hungry man on the make a far cry from the restraint that he'd later show you. hoover was young and brash, and he sometimes showed it. he sometimes felt that u.s. imperial p

president hoover had considered this. however, hoover is something a realist. he knows the move would get plenty of headlines but there's thing it will not get. it's not going to get the japanese out of manchuria. then there's another suggestion. levy, a u.s. arms on japan. keep u.s. arms from reaching japan. but here again, american arms are negligible. the conflict. now let me stress that of all sanctions made, the idea or rather of all the suggestions made you universal sanctions that is withholding goods from japanese ports might well have exerted the most coercion. cut off the trade with japan. hit the japanese where. it hurts japan's economy is already in trouble anyhow. let them really suffer. put the squeeze on them. articles ten an. article 16 of the league covenant refers such pressure. in fact, what the league levies sanctions. let the u.s. cooperate with it. but with all the suggestions made, this is the most risky. and it was heavily debated among america's opinion elite. stimson occasionally toyed with such proposals, but he would always back away

hoover very helpful to coolidge. hoover helped coolidge defeat hiram militant progressive in the 1924 california republican primary. what johnson was challenging coolidge and hoover sided with with coolidge. their big point of agreement was the on relief legislation. they objected to something called mcnary hogan ism legislation, and hoover actually as secretary of commerce helped write coolidge's veto of at least one of those two bills. so they had points of agreement. but hoover got on coolidge's nerves and it could go on and on about that and somewhat in annoyance late in the time, despite their term correctness in terms of their dealings with each other, hoover was a and coolidge called him the wonder boy and famously said, and everyone in this audience probably knows it. it was at the time of the just before the convention of 28, and someone went to coolidge, said, can you say something favorable about farm reform? long hoover's lines. and coolidge said, that man has given me unsolicited advice for six years. al

hoover was so i'm from the hoover institution, so i have to speak a little ill of the namesake he was famous for being mr. fix it. he made his he went in and kind of a command control guy and he solved the belgian famine during the first world war. and his attitude was mr. fix it and roosevelt was similarly ideologically i'm in there to to do great things, not to keep the institutions going within my constitutional limits like that, there's a great quote in emily's book about how roosevelt said, wow, hoover did all the things that we want to do, and now we get to take credit for it. i would say i'm a little different on the gold, actually. there was a with the gold standard. it was not ideal monetary arrangement and led to far more deflation than you had to have. so actually getting rid of the gold standard was was i think the good thing to do and that's the economy started recovering pretty much the minute they got rid of gold and i'd like to want add one more thought i was running a b.a. in early 1980s when ronald reagan take over well proceeding we had you know, for a nominal infla

forgiving us j edgar hoover. we'll take this from some of the laughter in the audience this is not a room full of hoover admirers. i would like to say here at the outset that i am myself and not an admirer of j edgar hoover. i did not set out to write a biography of hoover because i wanted to redeem him or wanted to convince other people to admire him and that some way. very early on when i was just getting started writing this biography i was on a panel with two of my historian colleagues at yale who were also writing biographies. one was writing a biography of george kennan the great cold war strategist and thinker. one was david blight who was writing a biography of frederick douglass the great abolitionist. and there i was writing a biography of j edgarog hoover. what was interesting to me about that panel we were all engaged in this project called biography we each had radically different relationships with our subject. was writing about someone he actually knew was of the semi a- authorized biography george

and there i was writing a biography of j edgar hoover. and, what was interesting to me about that panel was that though we were all engaged in this project called biography, we each had radically different relationships with our subjects. john gaddis was writing about someone he actually knew. uh, this was a semi-authorized biography. george kennan said go forth and write about me but do it once i am gone but then he proceeded to live to be more than 100 years old. [laughter] so that was a complicated biographical relationship. david blight was writing about someone that he deeply admired, someone he spent his career thinking about, and someone who was among the most admired figures in all of american history, and i had a slightly different problem than that. uh, which is i was going to write a big about someone who was among the most universally hated figures of the 20th century. i want to say though, that that was one of the things that made me want to write about hoover. he is often portrayed in our public culture, in our popular cultu

hoovers raising money. he's getting under roosevelt's skin. even roosevelt comes around and issues a kind of denunciation of stalin. but that was partly because hoover was getting under his skin. and the issue was becoming a political liability for him. these stories are coming out really remarkable. some of them had to do with that new innovation in war making, which becomes more famous a little later on the eastern front. but it started in finland. those were the terror battalions. they would actually arm nkvd troops, a special unit of nkvd troops with machine guns to stand behind the men. so if they refused to advance or they came back, they would shoot them. they'd be shot by their own side. these stories pour out of finland, my own personal favorite. they also have this new hideous innovation, although it went back a long time to the pull it look. the political commissar in every unit and these political commissars were, shall we say, not really a -- hated by their men or by the officers. so the story that goes round that the finns, by th

>> when king criticized j edgar hoover, j edgar hoover began his investigation, wiretaps. all wiretapped. the fbi listing to most of his conversations. at one point, hoover told the reporters that king is the most dangerous man in america. king is shocked by this. he doesn't know what to do. should he go to j edgar hoover? he doesn't really like conflict. he suggests that maybe he should go and have a session with him and talk things through and make peace. he says let's bail the cat. let's just go after it. let's make him an enemy. make him a foe. he knows where we are coming from and we know what he is up to. let's attack and king won't do it. go ahead. >> reporter: i'm sorry didn't mean to cut you off at i have a bone to pick. robert f kennedy approved the wiretapping. why would he do that? why would he do that? >> for one thing, jay. edgar hoover was a powerful man. >> that exactly what i thought. robert kennedy talked about that . he talks about the fact that he didn't know if it was true but he said that hoover had information on a hotel incident that he learned to u

edgar hoover and it led in part that's one of the reasons that hoover became obsessed with really destroying king. it began with the communism and with the fact that king dared to criticize the fbi. yes. king said that the fbi had a problem because it had no black agents in, the south, no black fbi agents operating in the south. they were supposed to be helping to protect the civil rights marchers, the activists. but how could they when they were all white and they were all in bed, basically, the white police and sheriff's departments in the southern towns in which they were working and most of them were members, many of them were kkk members. so when king said this to edgar, who was famously sensitive to criticism, became, how dare this barrhead as he liked to call king, how this guy criticize me and and that's really a big part of why the entire weight of the government's law enforcement bureau came down on one moral leader. those are some of the strong men that surrounded. king. tell me about the strong who worked there. skin off the bones. don't let me get personal here and oftentimes we

that is what drew me to hoover. i want to finish by confessing i had a few concerns about whether or not the world in fact wanted a biography of j edgar hoover. the first of those was that in our polarized moment, hoover does not fit well into political categories that we know. he was a deep believer in the nobility of professional government service, nonpartisan service, career service. that would stand outside of politics. that is most government work going on. and he was also a deep ideological conservative particularly on questions of raised, communism, and religion. what he did was put those traditions together in a way we don't see reflected in our politics of effectively. i wondered if we could in fact have a conversation about this more complicated politics and what it might tell us about the present. my other deep anxiety in these 12 years was as david rubenstein said, this is not a period in which the 800 page book is a big piece of cultural currency. i was a little concerned that in our quick take world,

edgar hoover and it led in part -- that is one of the reasons that hoover became obsessed with destroying king. it came with communism and the fact that king dared to criticize the fbi. king said the fbi had a problem because it had no black agents in the south. they are supposed to be protecting the civil rights marchers and activists but how could they when they were all white and in bed basically with the southern sheriff's offices where they work. >> and the kkk. >> many of them were kkk members. so j. edgar hoover became irate. how dare this guy criticize me. and that is really a big part of why the entire weight of the federal government and law enforcement bureau came down on one moral leader. >> those who became strongmen surrounding dr. king, tell me about the strong women who worked their skin off the bone. they oftentimes were subjugated to lesser roles. talk about that environment. make a point. >> the civil rights movement was led primarily by black mentors preachers who grew up in a culture that did not really encourage women's leadership. and people like dorothy cotten, ell

hoover doesn't fit into political categories we know.was a the believer in professional government service, nonpartisan service in career service the outstanding politics and most government working on professor government traditions and a deep ideological conservative question of race and communism and a host of questions. what he did was put those traditions together in a way we don't effectively so i wondered if we could have a conversation about this and what it might tell us. my other deep anxiety was, this was not a period in which an 800 page book is a piece of cultural currency so i was little concerned there wouldn't be a placece for a book like this ani am heartened to find that there is a world of people who want to read this kind of book and asked people in this room, people still want to write this kind of book and i want to finish off saying while we are here at the national book festival celebrating library of congress to champion the

now, hoover didn't know of that letter, but hoover knew full well what fdr was saying on the campaign, in pursuit of the democratic nomination, and then he drives it home. fdr, of course, in that speech of his that acceptance speech is important at acceptance speeches, promise of a new deal, he takes this agenda. he's laid out and he promises a deal. moreover i'm pretty sure it's in that speech he actually says that he laws are not a perfect nature they basically they are humanly created that is one of the most radical statements of the modern age this kind of thing it almost expect to hear from the likes of. karl marx okay. so hoover's in one way how does he come judge him as a radical? the guy's from, as you know, very privileged background. our our man, fdr. but in many ways, hoover saw a lot of people may not have seen that he was confronted politically by a radical who was to literally bring an end to the gilded age order the gilded age political and economic order. and he was going do it not only by harnessing the powers of democratic government, but he was going to engage ameri
