Negative Positive
Title: Balanced, readable portrait of the time period
Review: Professor Kyvig has written an excellent summary of the issues and influences that affected how people lived their daily lives during the "Roaring 20s" and the Great Depression. He avoids getting bogged down in political arguments by frankly documenting the opposing points of view that were generally held during the time period. The book contains a relatively brief but well rounded list of suggested further reading. For both those who have long studied the period and those who are new to the subject the book provides an incisive, readable look at a this time in lives of every day people.
