It was the worst of times and the best of times. It was an era of unprecedented crisis and a time of unprecedented courage. Now, in a single, comprehensive volume, The Hungry Years tells the story of the Great Depression through the eyes of the people who lived through it. Less concerned with the power brokers in Washington than with the daily struggles of ordinary people at the grassroots level across America, it draws on little-known oral histories, memoirs, local press, and scholarly monographs to capture the voices of men and women in a time of extreme crisis. The result is a richly detailed narrative that traces the stages of the disaster chronologically without losing touch with the personal wounds it inflicted or the ways in which people responded.

5622. The Hungry Years A Narrative History of the Great Depression in America, by T. H. Watkins (read 26 Apr 2019) This book was published in 1999, which should mean that the author would have some perspective on the events related, but I found the author often told of his source and it seemed clear that that named source was what he was telling and that he had made little effort to relate the events covering a broader outlook. . In other words, the author did not seem interested in telling of events with the benefit of the study that has been done over the years that had elapsed since the events occurred. Often the author's view coincided with mine but sometimes his judgment I thought flawed. Often his relation of the events--the rise of the CIO, the development of the TVA, e.g., --was of great interest. But i think an account which showed greater analysis of the study that must have been performed would have been more persuasive. ( )
