Synopsis
This first scholarly biography of Hershey (1893 - 1977) and the first historical study of the draft from 1940 to 1970 presents valuable insights into the operation of the political system and the national defense policy. Serving as draft director under six different presidents, he played an important role in home-front mobilization, the evolution of Cold War politics, the treatment of conscientious objectors, blacks, women, and in the Vietnam protest. Flynn reveals the interaction between the private man and the public person.
Originally published in 1985.
