About this audiobook

The Great Depression and the New Deal explores one of the most dramatic and transformative periods in American history. Beginning with the Stock Market Crash of 1929, this book follows the collapse of banks, the rise of mass unemployment, the devastation of the Dust Bowl, and the crisis of confidence that overwhelmed Herbert Hoover's presidency. It then traces the rise of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the election of 1932, and the bold experiments of the New Deal, from the First Hundred Days to the Civilian Conservation Corps, public works, Social Security, and the creation of a powerful new political coalition. This sixteenth volume also examines the critics of Roosevelt, the limits of reform, and the way the approach of World War II finally reshaped the American economy and ended the long shadow of the Depression.
