"President Hoover of the FBI"

Hughes, Emmet John

Saturday Review (New York 1975), 3, 17, 26, May 29 1976

The author, professor of politics at Rutgers University, takes issue with Henry Ford's and Ambrose Bierce's view of the value of history as "bunk" and "unimportant". He suggests reasons for the need for qualified historians and for students to develop a more thorough historical awareness. (RK)
