Book Description:


On October 29, 1929, more than 16 million stock shares were sold at the New York Stock Exchange, and by the end of November investors had lost more than $100 billion in assets. With the crash, the prosperity of the Roaring Twenties came to a close and a dark era of financial despair dawned in the United States. "The Stock Market Crash of 1929" is a revealing look at the events that helped usher one of the grimmest periods in American history.
