Book Synopsis
Lisio re-examines the events surrounding the 1932 Bonus March on Hoover's White House by outraged veterans. Included is an incisive look at the protective motives of Hoover himself, and how the president came to be vilified for the actions of MacArthur.

Trade Review
“ . . . [the] usual picture of Hoover as a villain who provoked the riot is replaced here by one in which Hoover’s humanitarian intentions were countered because General MacArthur exceeded his orders. Lisio has used newly opened manuscripts and evaluated old ones more carefully than previous authors. His chapters on how the historical conspiracy arose are superior.” * —Library Journal *
