HOOVER, Herbert. The Ordeal of Woodrow Wilson. New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1958.
8°. Half-title. Original gray cloth boards, spine with gilt lettering on blue morocco compartment, upper cover with gilt signature of Hoover against blue morocco background. With publisher’s original illustrated slipcase.
Limited edition, one of 500. This copy no. 312. Signed (“Herbert Hoover”) on colophon. Still the only instance of a former U.S. President writing a book about another former President (Wilson wrote about George Washington as a Princeton professor, before entering the White House). Hoover served in the Wilson administration as Food Administrator during World War I. This work praises Wilson’s ill-fated diplomacy and peace making efforts. He initially thought of titling the book, “The Crucifixion of Woodrow Wilson at Versailles.”
