Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 7 Up?This volume contains an aggregation of pieces that pertain to the economic depression of the 1930s. Greatly contrasting opinions delineate possible cures of the crisis (the New Deal and self-help plans), the implementation of the New Deal (the redistribution of wealth, Social Security, and the plight of Blacks), and a historical assessment of what the New Deal did or did not do for America. The writing is clear and lively. Primary and secondary sources are frequently quoted and footnoted, and include the words of Herbert Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, John Steinbeck, Walter Lippmann, Huey P. Long, Harold Ickes, and others. The book contains an appendix of excerpts from primary sources, an annotated bibliography, a few historical black-and-white photographs, a decent index, and some completely unnecessary study questions. A good companion to Milton Meltzer's Brother Can You Spare a Dime? (Facts On File, 1991) and Russell Freedman's Franklin Delano Roosevelt (Clarion, 1990).?David A.

More About the Author

Don Nardo is a historian and award-winning writer who specializes in the ancient world, especially the civilizations of Greece and Rome. He began as a actor and worked with the National Shakespeare Company before turning to writing screenplays and teleplays and, soon afterward, devoting much of his time to historical research and writing. In the past two decades, he has published nearly two hundred volumes on diverse historical topics. And having earned numerous favorable reviews, he is widely recognized as the country's leading writer of historical works for young adults. He is also versed in various other subjects and as a result is frequently asked by publishers to write books on a number of scientific and literary topics.

Mr. Nardo also composes and arranges orchestral music, having started composing in his early teens. Over the years he has turned out more than eighty musical works, including 2 symphonies, 4 string quartets, several concertos, a film score, incidental music for stage productions, and several commissions, the most recent a double concerto for violin and Portuguese guitar written for two noted musicians. He is also the resident composer and arranger for the Amadis Orchestra, based in Connecticut.
