She traces the mounting agony of the New Dealers and the moving stories of individual citizens who through their brave perseverance helped establish the steadfast character we recognize as American today. Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression Excellent well researched book on an important period in American history that has affected our country to this very day, and the lessons will probably not be heeded now. First time that have ever read the truth of what actually occurred in the Depression of the 1930's. Rating: - In one sentence, "FDR spitballed." This book, in one sentence, is "FDR spitballed." Before reading this book, you may want to read the serendipitous companion book Liberal Fascism: The Secret History of the American Left, From Mussolini to the Politics of Meaning. Goldberg's book (coincidentally and independently) touches upon the same themes as Shlaes, but includes more detail about the antecedents: the Progressive Movement, the Wilson Administration, and has a comparison with the other EuroFascists. After ... Read More Rating: - Characters of the Era Well written and easy to follow description of the characters behind the events during the FDR administration. If you look for a comprehensive book about the Great Depression, its causes and consequences, you will not find it in this book. However, for readers already knowledgeable on those events, it is a great supplement of information. If you want to grasp the characters of the time, this book is a must. Rating: - The Forgotten Man Execllent, scholarly work. A must read to see how much the Depression and the New Deal are reflected in our current financial mess and government. Rating: - Pull in the Reins This is a good book, but seems almost too detailed. The author discusses meetings, letters and events that sometimes have little to no bearing on the subject. see more Browse for similar items by category: Political Parties - Specialty Stores - Books - Red Politics Popular Economics - Business & Investing - Subjects - Books - General Popular Economics - Business & Investing - Subjects - Books - General AAS 20th Century - United States - Americas - History - Subjects - Books - Depression 20th Century - United States - Americas - History - Subjects - Books - General
