New York: Three Rivers Press, 1993. Trade Paperback. Very Good. 6x1x9. Lightly rubbed. 1993 Trade Paperback. In the twenty-five years since its publication, critics and scholars have praised historian Robert McElvaine's sweeping and authoritative history of the Great Depression as one of the best and most readable studies of the era. Combining clear-eyed insight into the machinations of politicians and economists who struggled to revive the battered economy, personal stories from the average people who were hardest hit by an economic crisis beyond their control, and an evocative depiction of the popular culture of the decade, McElvaine paints an epic picture of an America brought to its kneesâbut also brought together by people's widely shared plight.
