À propos de ce contenu audio
Herbert Hoover was orphaned as a child, but his tireless work ethic and masterful administrative talents brought him success as a mining engineer, a career in which he crisscrossed the globe and became a millionaire in the process. During the First World War, he led a massive effort to relieve the suffering population of occupied Belgium, earning international acclaim and putting his name under consideration for the presidency. During eight years as Commerce Secretary in the Harding and Coolidge administrations, he worked to modernize the American economy and made himself the obvious choice to succeed Coolidge in 1928. After a crushing landslide victory, Hoover brought his technocratic expertise to the highest office in the land, but when a frightening stock market crash brought the unprecedented prosperity of the Roaring 20's to an abrupt halt, he finally met a crisis he couldn't fix—the Great Depression.
