false <![CDATA[Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945 (Oxford History of the United States)]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563556m/106317.jpg 106317 2 You can think of <I>Freedom from Fear</I> as the academic's version of <i>The Greatest Generation</i>: like Tom Brokaw, Stanford history professor David M. Kennedy focuses on the years of the Great Depression and the Second World War and how the American people coped with those events. But there the similarities end--and, in terms of the differences, one might begin by noting that the historian's account is over twice the size of the journalist's.<p> Whereas Brokaw made use of extensive interviews, Kennedy relies on published accounts and primary sources, all meticulously footnoted. This academic rigor, however, does not render the book dull--far from it. Certainly the subject matter is interesting enough in its own right, but Kennedy offers attention-grabbing turns of phrase on nearly every page. He also unleashes some convention-shattering theses, such as his revelation that "the most responsible students of the events of 1929 have been unable to demonstrate an appreciable cause-and-effect linkage between the Crash and the Depression" and his subsequent argument that, although it made order out of chaos, the New Deal did not reverse the Depression--that, he says, was the war's doing. All in all, <I>Freedom from Fear</I> compares favorably to its companions in the multivolume Oxford History of the United States in both its comprehensive heft and its vivid readability. <I>--Ron Hogan</I> 102483 1999 Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945 (Oxford History of the United States) total:155|5:71|4:59|3:21|2:4|1:0| 155 662 305 32 106317 0195144031 9780195144031 152 32 Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945 (Oxford History of the United States) 4.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563556m/106317.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106317.Freedom_from_Fear_The_American_People_in_Depression_and_War_1929_1945 5 3 false Thu Apr 30 13:23:08 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 30 13:39:08 -0700 2009 more...]]> 106317 0195144031 9780195144031 152 32 Freedom from Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929-1945 (Oxford History of the United States) 4.27 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171563556m/106317.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/106317.Freedom_from_Fear_The_American_People_in_Depression_and_War_1929_1945 4 0 false Sat Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 06:13:13 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 24 06:59:49 -0700 2009 Freedom From Fear is David Kennedy's Pulitzer Prize winning 850+ page dense and detailed look at the United States during the years 1929-1945*.
