The Crucial Era: The Great Depression and World War II, 1929-1945

Author: Gerald D Nash

The years between 1929 and 1945 were some of the most fateful and decisive in the history of the United States. America set a host of precedents, establishing patterns that were followed for four decades. Two major issues provided the main challenges of the era: domestic depression and foreign war. This volume helps students understand the lasting impact of the Great Depression and World War II on the American people and to recognize that these two events irrevocably altered the political, economic, social, and cultural life of the nation and its people.
