Examines from multiple perspectives the historical events leading up to and following the Great Depression.

Review:

"Supplemental materials add to the overall richness of the work. A chronology includes the establishment of New York Stock Exchange and catalogs the establishment of the various New Deal public works programs. Books, periodicals, and carefully curated websites offer further reading, and there is an index. Highly recommended for schools and public libraries."
