Describes the 1929 stock market crash and the events and effects of the depression that followed, including the New Deal programs intended to restore the economy
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Grade 3-6-A strong, if basic, introduction to the Depression, Franklin Roosevelt, and the New Deal. First published in 1985, the text of this revised edition differs only in minute detail from the old (e.g., Dupont is now Du Pont), although the inclusion of a brief index is welcome. The overhaul that has been done is fundamentally cosmetic. The pencil drawings have been replaced with black-and-white photographs and full-color reproductions. Justified columns have been eliminated, and the layout is less rigid. These changes are appealing, if not dramatic. Overall, The Great Depression is a well-written selection, and the photos serve to underscore the smooth narration. The book should prove especially useful to collections that need to replace the earlier edition, or to those needing materials for readers not yet able to handle Bruce S.
