As Jeff Singleton shows, the rapid expansion of unemployment relief in the early 1930s generated pressures which led to the first federal welfare programs. However the process has received relatively little attention from historians, and unemployment relief does not play a major role in discussions of the current state of welfare. Singleton seeks not only to fill this gap, but to challenge popular interpretations of relief policy in the early 1930s. He shows that relief was expanding prior to the depression and that the modern aspects of social policy implemented in the 1920s profoundly influenced the response of the welfare system to the early stages of the economic crisis. Relief under President Herbert Hoover was neither primarily voluntarist nor traditional. The first full-fledged federal welfare program was implemented under the Hoover administration by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The initial goals of the New Deal's Federal Emergency Relief Administration were to reduce the national relief caseload and the federal welfare role, while improving standards for those on the dole. The institutionalization of state-level welfare was a consequence of the failure of the 1935 reform program (the WPA and the Social Security Act) to eliminate the dole, not a product of conscious liberal policy. Singleton concludes by evaluating the 1996 Personal Responsibility Act in the context of these conclusions. If the dole was not a product of liberal reform, but, instead, arose to fill a policy vacuum, then it will be difficult to eliminate by legislative fiat unless states and the federal government are willing to finance relatively costly alternatives. A provocative analysis of interest to historians and social scientists concerned with American social and labor policy.

BOB DOLE BIOGRAPHY: This is a captivating biography of the World War II hero and influential politician, Bob Dole. Bob Dole was a World War II hero, who enlisted in the Army's Enlisted Reserve Corps in December, 1942, a year after the United States formally joined World War II. In 1943, he was inducted into active duty and commissioned as second lieutenant after Officer Candidate School. While he was in combat in April, 1945, shortly before the end of World War II, he was seriously wounded near Castel d'Aiano in the Apennines mountains in Bologna, Italy. He suddenly discovered that he was unable to feel anything below his neck. He was unaware at the time that whatever it was that hit him had shattered his shoulder and right arm, damaging part of his spine. The injuries he sustained left him with numbness in the left arm and restricted mobility in his right arm.
