After his defeat Hoover kept silent on public policy for two years. In late 1934 he began his attack on the New Deal with The Challenge to Liberty, a book in which he articulated his ideological views. He remained active in the Republican Party, quietly and unsuccessfully seeking his party's presidential nomination in 1936 and 1940. As an elder statesman he headed government commissions under Presidents Harry S Truman and Dwight D. Eisenhower. After years of service to the nation, Herbert Hoover died on 29 October 1964.
