Description: "In 1960, Canadian-born and Harvard-educated economist W. Glenn Campbell was named director of the Hoover Institution, at Stanford University. In this detailed and sometimes sharp-edged memoir, Campbell reveals the untold story of his efforts to build the then-sleepy research library into a first-class facility for historical and contemporary research and scholarship.".

"Future historians seeking the roots of the reanimation of America's founding principles and of the conservative philosophy will find answers aplenty in this work."--BOOK JACKET.
