This is an interesting book.The author attempts to tell all sides in the Great Depression. Hoover was a huge success at everything he did until he became president.I was interested to see That Hoover did much more to help alleviate the depression that history gives him credit for. IN the 1920's and !930's many Americans looked at Communism, but most gave up on it after they graduated from college. MY curiosity is why did Franklin Roosevelt from a rich family take on the Depression whom in my opinion affected the middle class and poor the most? I know that he followed in Eleanor's Uncle and His cousin Teddy Roosevelt's Footsteps. This is a Most interesting history of the Great Depression.
