...This set examines in great detail an important period in U.S. history, offering social, cultural, and ideological as well as historical perspective. It is recommended for public and high-school libraries.  -- Booklist (December 2002)

This is the inaugural set of a new reference series tracing  ...the social, cultural, political, religious, and ideological threads that combined to create an historic event.  ...Informative, easy to read, and exceptionaly well organized, this resource is a useful addition.   -- School Library Journal (June 2003)

Truly an encyclopedic work, this set covers The Great Depression from 1929 till 1941, occasionally going out of that era to cover connected events, such as  Effects of the Great Depression&#175LBJ's Great Society.   -- Catholic Library World (March 2003)

...This set examines in great detail an important period in U.S. history, offering social, cultural, ad ideological as well as historical perspective.  It is recommended for public and high-school libraries.   -- Booklist (December 2002)

The Great Depression was marked by a single devastating event, the Crash of 1929, and an ongoing wave of economic problems that reached well into the 1960's.  This three-volume history covers the years 1920-1968, from the causes of the 1929 Crash to the Depression's effects as much later as the Great Society of President Lyndon B. Johnson...  The table of contents gives the user easy access to information, both alphabetically and chronologically.  Each entry has an introduction, chronology, topic summary, key issue section, historical perspective, consequences, and list of notable people relevant to the topic.  A section of primary sources includes excerpts from speeches, newspaper, and memoirs, but does not list sources for further research...  Despite its lacks, this reference set is thorough and would be useful for American History students seeking more than the basic information on the Great Depression.  Recommended.   -- Library Media Connection (March 2003)
