From the Crash to the Blitz 1929-1939

In unforgettable words & image, Cabell Phillips takes the reader from the crash of the stock market to the crash of bombs in Poland. The journey was a monumental one for Americans--a time of bitterness & despair, of failure & hunger & want, but also of rebirth.The New Deal was part of social revolution, a recreation of the American experiment. In popular culture, too, the decade beginning with 1929 saw a new flowering in music, in radio & in the movies-now equipped with sound tracks. Phillips' goal has been "to tell you not only what happened but what it was like to be there." His sources were the files of The New York Times & the leading periodicals of the day, histories, memoirs, diaries & government reports. Together, text & photographs offer total historical experience of a decade in the life of a nation shadowed by depression, heading toward war, vibrating with its own frenzied excitement.Phillips, Cabell B. H. is the author of 'From the Crash to the Blitz 1929-1939' with ISBN 9780823219995 and ISBN 0823219992.
