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

4.0

I decided to read this book a result of our current economic situation that stems from the pandemic. I wanted to see if I could identify parallels or potential solicitors, even though the cause of the Great Depression is not at all like our current situation. The photographs and historical documents throughout this book help to portray insights, but the book really centers on FDR and his programs. I feel like there may be more than was provided by this particular historical perspective, hence the 4 star rating, but I did enjoy the opportunity to meet new Americans I had not yet heard of and learn more about the plight of those impacted by the Great Depression.
