    <body><![CDATA[I enjoyed this book a lot. It was like talking to old people about the depression and offered many different experiences and impressions of the time period. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in history of the 1930's and the experiences many people had during this time. I also recommend this book to anyone who is interested in the politics that were happening during the 1930's. There are a lot of insights and stories about all the interesting things that were happening and many resistances to them that seem to me to very similiar to many things that are still happening in today's volatile political arena.  ]]></body>
