First-rate

This is one of the best books I've seen about the Depression. It is made up of a bunch of articles by historians and other experts, some of whom were alive during the Depression. It has a lot of information about the causes of the Depression, how Roosevelt tried to deal with it, and how some of his programs seemed to work while other ones didn't. A very useful book for students or anybody who is interested in American history.
