Biography

Crocker served as Dean of Golden Gate University School of Law from 1934 to 1941 when he resigned. Crocker was one of several critics of the New Deal and of Franklin D. Roosevelt's foreign policy. During World War II, Crocker was an officer in the largest and longest Army court-martial resulting from the Fort Lawton Riot.[1]

Crocker was the author of Roosevelt's Road to Russia, published by Henry Regnery Company (1959).[2] Ignored by the New York/Washington establishment it garnered favorable reviews in the National Review, Modern Age, The Chicago Tribune and The Boston Herald. In it, Crocker made claims that Roosevelt invariably backed Stalin and went to great lengths to hide this from the American public.
