School Library Journal : "They do have a simple attractive format that makes them accessible to young audiences. Even in these brief introductions, the author avoids judging these ancient societies by modern-day values. Full-color photos, maps, and reproductions are plentiful and add interest to the texts."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002)
School Library Journal : "Befitting the series title, the book gives a personalized version of this historical movement and the cultural and political elements of the time are firmly in the background."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002)
School Library Journal : "The author presents his information clearly without fictionalizing, and offers some first-person accounts by period writers. The layout is clear and logical. An informative introduction that will have some appeal for reluctant readers."

Book Description
The Great Depression was one of the bleakest times in United States history. After the prosperity that followed World War I, the stock market crash of 1929 forced many people into poverty. This book examines the causes of the Great Depression, the devastating effects of it, the 1930s drought in the Midwest called the "Dust Bowl" era, and the country's eventual recovery after the onset of World War II.
