Between 1929 and 1945, two great travails were visited upon the American people: the Great Depression and World War II. This Pulitzer Prize–winning history tells the story of how Americans endured, and eventually prevailed, in the face of those unprecedented calamities. The Depression was both a disaster and an opportunity. As David Kennedy vividly demonstrates, the economic crisis of the 1930s was far more than a simple reaction to the alleged excesses of the 1920s.

I’ve long appreciated 20th century US history, but this book made me realize there’s a story arc I’d previously seen only as vignettes. This book does an amazing job explaining the nuances of the New Deal, how we ended up in two wars at once, and how the US and world were changed by early 20th century developments.
This book puts all this in clear context in a delightfully engaging and literate way. Simply put, I didn’t want this book to end.
Narrator was compelling, but I found his word mispronunciation distracting.
