The Hoover Institution Press released Zhivago’s Secret Journey, by Paolo Mancosu, a breakthrough contribution to the study of the esteemed Russian Nobel laureate Boris Pasternak. 

The Hoover Institution Press released The Crusade Years--a never-before-published parallel volume to Herbert Hoover’s Freedom Betrayed from the Hoover Institution Archives–edited by historian George H. Nash.  This work recounts Hoover’s postpresidential family life, his myriad philanthropic interests, and his “crusade against collectivism” after he left the White House.

Among the many treasures in the Hoover Institution Archives is its collection of 120,000 political posters from all over the world. In a unique cooperative agreement with the Art Institute of Chicago, Hoover loaned the Art Institute twenty-six original, hand-painted Soviet posters for inclusion in the Art Institute's current featured exhibit Windows in the War: Soviet TASS Posters at Home and Abroad, 1941-1945.

The papers of H. H. Kung, a confidant of Chiang Kai-shek, his brother-in-law, and the patriarch of one of the “four big families” of Nationalist China, opened at the Hoover Institution Library and Archives today, January 19, 2010.
