Description:
1934 1st ed Herbert Hoover SIGNED Challenge to Liberty on Franklin Roosevelt "Children are our greatest natural resource."
― Herbert Hoover
Herbert Hoover was the 31st President of the United States known for his business plans during the Great Depression. Shortly following his presidency and retirement from politics, he published 'The Challenge to Liberty' which was a harsh, critical work of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, calling much of Roosevelt's plans 'fascist'! According to Polenberg,
"Hoover raised an important issue when he claimed that big government would attempt to protect itself from criticism by blocking the free flow of information and therefore represented an insidious threat to freedom of speech and the press."
This 1934 first edition is signed by author and former president Herbert Hoover!

The pages are white, crisp and clear of any markings. "This is a history of the visual arts produced in the geographical area that now constitutes the United States. Such a book is difficult to title. A History of United States Art sounds awkward and logically might even be construed to exclude the arts of the colonial period. Thus, with apologies to our northern and southern neighbors, I use the title A History of American Art, knowing full well that the terms America and the United States are not synonymous...." - Preface from A History of American Art
