Hoover Institution

The Hoover Institution on War, Revolution, and Peace is a conservative public policy think tank and library founded by Herbert Hoover at Stanford University, his alma mater. It has also been called the West's citadel of anticommunism. It recently has been called Bush's 'brain trust', as some of its fellows have connections to the Bush administration. The Institution was founded in 1919 and over time has amassed a huge archive of documentation related to Hoover, World War I, and World War II, specifically focusing on the root causes of these wars.
