Read Reviews for The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Great Depression Write review Sarah-jane Reader reviewed The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Great Depression on May 11, 2012 The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Great Depression This book is great for anyone who wants to learn more about the Great Depression. It focuses on almost everything about the Great Depression, from what caused it to what daily life was like during it. It's a great book for anyone interested in learning about that time period. I really enjoyed reading it, and it was definitely a lot more in depth than anything I studied in school about the Great Depression considering it was an entire book as opposed to one or two chapters in a history book.
