The Forgotten Man : A New History Of The Great Depression

Attribution
Amity ShlaesPublication Details
Book1st edHarperCollins Publishers2007Description
It’s difficult today to imagine how America survived the Great Depression. She shows how both Presidents Hoover and Roosevelt failed to understand the prosperity of the 1920s and heaped massive burdens on the country that more than offset the benefit of New Deal programs. From 1929 to 1940, federal intervention helped to make the Depression great?in part by forgetting the men and women who sought to help one another.

Flapper : A Madcap Story Of Sex, Style, Celebrity, And The Women Who Made America Modern

Attribution
Joshua ZeitzPublication Details
Book1st edCrown Publishers2006Links
Description
Bruce Barton and Edward Bernays, pioneers of advertising and public relations, taught big business how to harness the dreams and anxieties of a newly industrial America?and a nation of consumers was born. Towering above all were Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, whose swift ascent and spectacular fall embodied the glamour and excess of the era that would come to an abrupt end on Black Tuesday, when the stock market collapsed and rendered the age of abundance and frivolity instantly obsolete. With its heady cocktail of storytelling and big ideas, Flapper is a dazzling look at the women who launched the first truly modern decade. (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Availability

Attribution
Nathan MillerPublication Details
BookScribner2003Description
“To an astonishing extent, the 1920s resemble our own era, at the turn of the twenty-first century; Chronicling what he views as the most consequential decade of the past century, Nathan Miller — an award-winning journalist and five-time Pulitzer nominee — paints a vivid portrait of the 1920s, focusing on the men and women who shaped that extraordinary time, including, ironically, three of America’s most conservative presidents: Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. The first comprehensive view of the era since Only Yesterday, Frederick Lewis Allen’s 1931 classic, New World Coming reveals this remarkable age from the vantage point of nearly a century later.
