"[Hoover's ideas - service to the community and equality of opportunity - reached fruition in American Individualism. Hoover Opposed sharp class differences and counseled a Jeffersonian meritocracy" (DAB). Americas First Crusade is Hoover's memoir of World War I. In Hoover's foreword he writes of the book, ''...The particular importance of this material is as a reminder of the gigantic lessons of 1919...We need preparedness for the peace table even as we need it for defense.''
