The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression by Amity Shlaes
2.0
If I had to pick a favorite president, it would be FDR. Nothing in this book changed that. I know he wasn't perfect and there is an awful lot I disagree with (though hindsight is 20/20).
This book would entirely disagree with my opinion. There wasn't a lot of new information about this time in history. It just takes it at a different angle - a decidedly conservative one. People much smarter than I am can argue the details for or against, but this one didn't work for me. I felt a lot like I was in a lecture course and not allowed to ask questions or argue points with the professor.
