Freedom Betrayed: Herbert Hoover's Secret History of the Second World War and Its Aftermath by Herbert Hoover (edited by George H. Nash)

Nash compiled it from Hoover's writings over the course of several decades, and it was eventually published in 2011. If this book is anything close to what I've heard, I think Hoover will go down as perhaps the smartest and most underrated U.S. president of all time.

“If this book is anything close to what I’ve heard, I think Hoover will go down as perhaps the smartest and most underrated U.S. president of all time.”

That wouldn’t surprise me. He gets unfairly blamed for the Great Depression. Hoover had been an immensely successful businessman before entering politics. A mining engineer IIRC.
