About this book
Hungry children in Warsaw provide the opening scene for Vernon L. Kellogg's account of Herbert Hoover's life and public service. Visiting Poland after the First World War, Hoover watches thousands of children parade with the cups used for their relief meals. Kellogg connects this welcome to the larger effort to supply food across Eastern Europe, with particular attention to children weakened by hunger.
Writing as an observer, colleague and friend, Kellogg gives an openly admiring portrait of Hoover. The contents trace his childhood, university years and mining career before turning to Belgian relief and American food administration. In the Belgian episodes, practical organization shares space with personal recollections of Hoover advising his staff and receiving messages of gratitude.
