Crash: The Great Depression and the Fall and Rise of America in the 1930s by Marc Favreau
3.0
3.5 stars
With many black and white primary source photographs and other primary sources, this tells briefly what led up to the great depression. Mainly the focus is the great depression, what it was, what life was like for the regular people, and how the government responded. It also relates how the Dust Bowl affected life after the stock market crash. Then relates how FDR and his programs brought things back to life. Easy to read and understand. Pictures are clear and relatable, poignant. A topic that our kids may hear about but definitely do not understand or relate to. Well-written, well-researched. (but not exciting)
