Herbert Hoover's handling of the public relief
following the economic collapse in 1929 was challenged by his critics.
However, his skill and compassion in helping to feed the starving children
in Europe during World War I earned him the honorary title "Great Humanitarian."
When America entered the war, he returned home to make sure that both civilians
and soldiers in the U.S. had enough to eat. Why were those experiences
so different?
