Presented by historian and author Jeffrey B. Miller. 

Miller has written extensively on the WWI Commission for Relief in Belgium (CRB) and will share his insights into Herbert Hoover’s humanitarian efforts, delivering compelling portraits of young idealists who interrupted their lives to serve the CRB for no pay.

To succeed, Hoover and his band knew they had to be on the right side of worldwide public opinion: “Hoover’s understanding of this concept,and of the way the world’s news media worked, would serve him and hiscause extremely well from the very beginning,” Miller writes.
