Synopsis

This volume focuses on the US domestic politics of the inter-war period. The central theme is the movement of the country from a period of apparent prosperity during 1923-1929 to the onset of depression and the New Deal, designed to bring about "relief, recovery and reform". The author not only centres on the role played by the Wall Street Crash in the depression, but also the transition and attendant tensions in society and the issue of whether the prosperity of the 1920s was "real".
