This striking reinterpretation of the Great Depression looks at the neglected and moving stories of individual Americans, and shows how they had helped to establish the steadfast character that has developed a nation.
 
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?

 

Praise
"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...." 04/02/2008
