books about: 1933-1935     books:       Alone: The Classic Polar Adventure (Kodansha Globe.)20 reviews Richard Evelyn Byrd Kodansha America, 1995 Related to Chaim Potok's book "The Chosen" I learned about Alone when I read The Promise, the sequel to Chaim Potok's The Chosen. I approached Alone with that psychological twist in mind. Rather than reading it as an adventure story, I read Alone as a companion to the DSM-IV. Byrd had help making this book a good read, true; but his story is absolutely riveting. I have read the criticisms of Byrd's ineptitude, his failure of boy scout ...             Complete Chester Gould's Dick Tracy Volume 2 (Complete Chester Gould's Dick Tracy)7 reviews Chester Gould, Ashley Wood IDW Publishing, 2007 Dick Tracy rides again.

Harry Williams Vintage, 1981 Living large in Louisiana Huey Long was one of the most fascinating characters in American history and T. Harry Williams tells his story better than anyone else.

I marvel at the depth and range written in Voices of Protest: Huey Long, Father Coughlin, and the Great Depression by Alan Brinkley. Without very much firsthand information from Huey Long and Charles Coughlin, Alan Brinkley was able to portray the lives of these two unlikely figureheads of the Great Depression. From their small town beginnings to their national prominence to their movement's ...             The Coming of the New Deal, 1933-1935 (The Age of Roosevelt, Vol. 2)2 reviews Jr.", Arthur M. "Schlesinger Mariner Books, 2003 Franklin Roosevelt: A Great Man Arthur M. Schlesinger wrote a Pulitzer Prize winning series on "The Age of Roosevelt" almost a half-century ago. This volume is the middle volume of that trilogy, covering the period 1933-1935. In assessing Roosevelt's role only a generation removed from the activity itself, Schlesinger chose to utilize Plutarch's approach of evaluating the man and his character to see how history developed. ...             Documenting America, 1935-1943 (Approaches to American Culture) University of California Press, 1988 Between 1935 and 1943, a group of photographers under the direction of Roy Emerson Stryker set out to photograph the United States for the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information.

Norton & Company, 2002 Looking backwards A stunning book of 410 photos from the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information archives now in the Library of Congress.

Other scholars of the topic-including Wayne S. Cole, Selig Adler, and Robert Divine-crafted works focusing on specific organizations or about legislative battles whether the United States should join the war in Europe. Jonas's book takes ...             The Nazi seizure of power;: The experience of a single German town, 1930-19352 reviews William Sheridan Allen Franklin Watts, 1973 Well-written, well-researched, scary Mr. Allen's meticulously researched examination of the Nazis' swift rise to power, as illustrated by the experience of one provincial town in Germany, provides a clear answer to the question "how did they do it?" The answer, by the way, may frighten those complacent Americans who think "it can't happen here." Much of the Nazi methodology used to seduce, and ultimately terrorize, the German ...             Rising Wind: Black Americans and U.S. Foreign Affairs, 1935-1960 Brenda Gayle Plummer The University of North Carolina Press, 1996 African Americans have a long history of active involvement and interest in international affairs, but their efforts have been largely ignored by scholars of American foreign policy.

Colin Gordon writes a fascinating history of the New Deal, which challenges the reading of Gabriel Kolko and Capture Theory. He argues that their was no monolithic business interest, but that the competitiveness of individual firms made it virtually impossible to organize around and control government regulation. Gordon's writing is excellent and his examples capture the age. A must read for ...             The Duchess of Kent: The Troubled Life of Katharine Worsley1 review Mary Riddell Sidgwick & Jackson, 1999 Fascinating and disturbing look at the Royal Family The author's research and detail here is incredible. She presents a well-rounded and unbiased look at the Duchess of Kent, and as much as I admired the Duchess for her determination and faith, I was thoroughly disgusted by the Royal Family's cold and insensitive treatment of her. Although the book drags a little bit, I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in this subject.             London, 1933-1935 (Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works) (Dietrich Bonhoeffer Works) Fortress Press, 2007 Dietrich Bonhoeffer's pastoral sojourn in England from October 1933 to April of 1935, which he initially viewed as a withdrawal from the church clashes in Germany, marked instead a new phase in his intensive participation in that struggle. This enlightening volume provides an almost daily documentation of his deepening engagement against the placid backdrop of his two London pastorates. Detailing Bonhoeffer's extensive contacts ...             State of Michigan Unemployment, Relief and Economic Security: Second Report of the State Emergency Welfare ...
