“Designed to give readers a look at the Great Depression from an economic point of view, this book does just that. ... It’s an in-depth look at the causes and results of an economic meltdown that affected countries across the world. Black and white photos add to the sense of despair that was felt during the Great Depression. And it also features information on the economic pressures on global concerns, political movements and social changes around the world.” - Carolyn Bason, Baldwin Borough Public Library
