America Between the Wars
Description
"Professor Alan Brinkley and Michael Flamm explore the period between the end of the “Great War” and the beginning of the “Good War,” during which the United States experienced dramatic political, economic, social, and cultural change. The uneven prosperity of the 1920s contributed to the crisis of the 1930s. The Great Depression in turn led to the New Deal and the reshaping of the modern state, but also to a global crisis that produced World War II. Topics of discussion include the coming of the Great Depression, the New Deal, crime and culture in the 1920s and 1930s, and the beginning of World War II."
