Book Reviews of The Great Depression: America 1929-1941
Book Review: Historical Bias?
Summary: 3 Stars
The author uses the Depression of the 1930s as an opportunity to take potshots at Ronald Reagan (who was a teenager at the time). Although I don't know much about the era (hence my motivation for reading the book), it made me somewhat suspicious of the author's explanations for the [conservative] causes of the Depression - and its [progressive] cure. I wanted to read an objective history, but instead wound up with something that sounded more like an editorial.
