1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in History – and How It Shattered a Nation
Description
This gripping account takes readers inside the stock-market collapse of 1929, tracing the speculation, ambition, and mounting pressures that transformed financial unease into the greatest crash in American history. With a vivid, deeply researched narrative, it follows the Wall Street figures, political leaders, businesses, and ordinary families caught in the upheaval. More than a story of markets, it is a portrait of a nation confronting shattered fortunes, social dislocation, and a profound crisis of confidence in capitalism and government. The result is a compelling examination of how financial systems fail—and how their consequences can reverberate through every layer of society.
