      2020., Dover Publications, Inc. Call No: HI-INT 975.3 DIC   Edition: Dover edition.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: "Forty-five thousand World War I veterans invaded President Herbert Hoover's Washington D.C. in the Depression summer of 1932 demanding payment of the bonus they had been promised eight years earlier for their wartime service. The "bonus bill" was defeated in the Senate, and the Army, led by Army Chief of Staff Gen. Douglas MacArthur, routed the invading bonus army with tanks on the streets of Washington. The Bonus Army by Paul Dickson and Thomas B. Allen, which garnered fabulous reviews when first published in 2004, is based on exhaustive research including interviews with the last surviving witnesses from 1932. As Dickson and Allen make clear the summer of the 1932 Bonus Army ultimately proved to play a crucial role in American history as it paved the way for the passage, in 1944, of the GI Bill of Rights, legislation which transformed American society and more than anything else created the American middle class of the postwar years"--

      c2006., PBS Home Video [distributor] Call No: DVD    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: In 1932, in the darkest days of the Depression, unemployed World War I veterans marched on Washington, D.C., looking for an advance on the bonus compensation promised to them years earlier. After camping throughout Washington for two months, the veterans were dirven out by force. Under the command of General Douglas MacArthur and his officers Dwight Eisenhower and George Patton, they drove the veterans from Washington and burned their camps and the Bonus Army had become a poltiical liability for President Herbert Hoover. In 1936, Congress finally agreed to pay the Bonus and nearly four million veterans benefited. The epic march set in motion a string of events that influenced the rights of veterans, including WWII's GI bill, plus the rights of citizens to assemble and petition the government.
