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. The general's retaliation against the veterans was based on a supposed communist threat - which subsequent investigation failed to confirm - yet Hoover could never extract himself politically from the storm of controversy following the event.Lisio, Donald J. is the author of 'President and Protest Hoover, Macarthur, and the Bonus Riot', published 1994 under ISBN 9780823215720 and ISBN 0823215725.
