Returning to America, he put down on paper the spiritual, economic and political characteristics which enabled Americans to produce the materials needed to bring peace to the world and at the same time to discharge the social and spiritual commitment to give economic assistance to the people ravaged by war. The result of his research was published in 1922 (Doubleday - Page) in a book entitled, "American Individualism." (Hoover Presidential Foundation). Binding with sunning along edges, top two thirds of back cover and spine, fading gilt lettering. Lightly age-toned block lightly starting at page 59.
