I learned a lot reading this book. From Hoover's political philosophy being the government's roll as hands off in solving problems at the outset of the depression, to the Roosevelts - both Eleanor and FDR - approach to various facets of aid and recovery. This book did a dive into every segment of American life to talk about the impact of the depression from the rise of Unions to blaming of immigrants to race relations to creation of the social safety net.
Ultimately, the country unifying around the need to defeat the Axis powers in WWII is demonstrated as unity building and igniting the economy enough to end the Great Depression.… (lisätietoja)

Spies details the relationship between the United States and Russia after WWII with afterward information taking it to the modern time period.

What I like about the narrative non-fiction book is the simplicity of the chapters, making it accessible to middle schoolers. As the book begins to conclude, the chapters are broader and less focused. It is necessary considering what happens in that time period with the Cold War ending and the Berlin Wall falling so suddenly. The narrative takes the reader through each time period and concentrates on one main spy with each time frame. We meet both Russian and American spies as well as double-agents.

I'm one of those people who cannot remember what I'm reading unless I take notes. This novel is the 2020-2021 Pentathlon book, which is why I read it. I've always been fascinated by spies and was excited to read it. I can't imagine taking the chances they take, especially those who lived in Russia and gave secrets to the United States. The Russians have never messed around; their punishment would be severe. I was able to just read this book, but if I were needing to write essays and think about the ramifications for contest, I would have extensive notes. The book would be easy to take notes from because of it's clear organization. There are enough names to need a list, but there aren't so many names that you are confused and lost or feel like you're reading an original Tom Clancy novel!

This book should be read by students to understand the history of Russia and the United States. Witnessing these events as a young adult continues to color my view of politics and Russia--I even recognized ones of the names because he was a famous spy. I had read a book about him as well. When his name was casually mentioned, my eyes widened because it was years before the United States figured out his secret. It's important to know that countries still try to infiltrate and influence other countries. It's the reality of our world, especially with social media. Being savvy about information is a must, especially when foreign governments seek out regular people and these people don't even know it.

I also liked all of the information at the back of the book--it would have been nice to have noticed that before I started reading!
