Crash: The Great Depression and the Fall and Rise of America by Marc Favreau

5.0

Full of primary sources, photographs, and personal accounts, this book chronicles the crash of the US economy in 1929, the effects of the Great Depression, and the resurgence of the economy with the advent of World War II. Readers will learn more about the effects of the Great Depression on people around the country. Favreau is inclusive of many groups such as children, the elderly, immigrants, African Americans, women, unionists, and Jews. While FDR is clearly viewed as the hero, many other men and women were instrumental in the policies and events of the period, and Favreau introduces the reader to some of them.
