On October 24, 1929, America met the greatest economic devastation it had ever        known. In this first installment of his Pulitzer Prize-winning Freedom from Fear,        Kennedy tells how America endured, and eventually prevailed, in the face of that        unprecedented calamity.Kennedy vividly demonstrates that the economic crisis of the        1930s was more than a reaction to the excesses of the 1920s. For more than a century        before the Crash, America's unbridled industrial revolution had gyrated through        repeated boom and bust cycles, consuming capital and inflicting misery on city and        countryside alike. Nor was the alleged prosperity of the 1920s as uniformly shared        as legend portrays. Countless Americans eked out threadbare lives on the margins of        national life.Roosevelt's New Deal wrenched opportunity from the trauma of the 1930s        and created a lasting legacy of economic and social reform, but it was afflicted        with shortcomings and contradictions as well. With an even hand Kennedy details the        New Deal's problems and defeats, as well as its achievements. He also sheds fresh        light on its incandescent but enigmatic author, Franklin D. Roosevelt.Marshalling        unforgettable narratives that feature prominent leaders as well as lesser-known        citizens, The American People in the Great Depression tells the story of a resilient        nation finding courage in an unrelenting storm.
