Definitely a very interesting and enjoyable book. Deals with a lot more than just the economic history of the Great Depression. Incorporates lots of historical facts, names and some figures, but manages to do so with sufficient elan and flow, that 'readability' remains of a very high quality.
There are a lot of names mentioned. But then, remember, this is not a novel, and there were indeed lots of players strutting the stage at the time. Chapter 2, "The Junket", detailing the meeting with Stalin of some of our later 'Great Leaders', and members of FDR's intelligentsia, and their later prominence in New Deal thinking, was absolutely fascinating.
