1.The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great DepressionThe Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression
from Harper Perennial
Price: $9.57

Customer Review:
The author does a great job expounding her theory that World War II ended the great depression and FDR's New Deal only helped prolong it. With plenty of examples of flamboyant socialist policies, overzealous prosecutions, and the unconstitutional court packing plan, she certainly makes a good case.... more info

2.The Great Crash 1929The Great Crash 1929
from Mariner Books
Price: $8.40

Customer Review:
I started reading this book the day before the most recent crash started. Every night I picked it up, and it mirrored the current events so closely, that it was more than a little scary. Why won't we learn from the mistakes of the past?

Customer Review:
Little Heathens by Millie Kalish is a wonderful book about the author's life on an Iowa farm in the 1930's. She makes the setting and times come alive and I especially enjoyed getting a glimpse of my parent's generation and what their childhood might have been like.
The values she was taught as... more info

This is a wonderfully written history of the Depression and WWII. It is especially good on the Depression with multiple new insights into the US (many applicable to the current credit crisis).

from Three Rivers Press
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
This is a great explanation of the Great Depression, written with clarity and interest (although I wish the author had not used "very" as much as he did). It explores the differences between our two major parties. It reveals how the mistakes of the Reagan era led to today's mess. It points up the... more info

Price: $11.65

Customer Review:
This book is simple, clear and accurate. I've turned to it over and over again and can't recommend it too highly. Smiley is especially good when he gets to the second half of the 1930s.
