Book Reviews of The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression

Book Review: The Forgotten Man
Summary: 5 Stars

The Forgotten Man is the best book I've ever read on the subject of the '29 Crash and subsequent depression. If you really want to learn about what really happened in this country nearly 80 years ago and how many of the Roosevelt policies exascerbated and prolonged the situation, this is the book for you. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in that momentous period in American history, and how it relates to and if it compares to what is happening today in this country.
