The Forgotten Man

Focusing on the personal narratives of everyday Americans, this book reexamines the Great Depression through a fresh lens. Rather than highlighting the New Deal, it emphasizes the resilience and determination of individuals who faced hardship, illustrating how their experiences shaped the national character. Amity Shlaes uncovers the often-overlooked stories that reveal the strength and endurance of the American spirit during one of the country's most challenging times.
