Review

"A breezy narrative....rather than telling a new story, [Amity Shlaes]
tells an old one...in a fresh way....[A] thoughtful, even-tempered corrective to the too-often unbalanced celebrations of FDR...."

Publisher's note

A reinterpretation of the Great Depression seeks to demonstrate how the failures of Hoover and Roosevelt to understand the prosperity of the 1920s directly contributed to massive national burdens that marginalized everyday citizens, in an account that shares the survival stories of lesser-known historical figures from the period. Reprint. 50,000 first printing.

Annotation

This social history of the Great Depression focuses on the everyday lives of the people and how they were affected, and it includes fascinating details and high-interest profiles of famous and not-so famous Americans. Amity Shlaes takes a somewhat revisionist position on the causes of the Depression and the reasons it was, eventually, alleviated. One of her provocative questions is: Why did it last as long as it did?
