✦ Synopsis

Review

“Entertaining, illuminating, and exceedingly fair. . . . A rich, wonderfully original, and extremely textured history of an important time. (The American Spectator )

“Amity Shlaes’s fast-paced review of the [Depression] helps enormously in putting it all in perspective.” (Paul Volcker )

“Amity Shlaes is among the most brilliant of the young writers who are transforming American financial journalism.” (Paul Johnson, author of *Modern Times* )

“The Forgotten Man offers an understanding of the era’s politics and economics that may be unprecedented in its clarity.” (Mark Helprin )

“The Forgotten Man is revisionist history at its best—full of fresh insights, undogmatic judgments, and illuminating observations. Shlaes’s account of The Great Depression goes beyond the familiar arguments of liberals and conservatives to make a truly original contribution. And it’s an awfully good read.” (William Kristol, Editor of *The Weekly Standard* )

“The Forgotten Man is an incisive and controversial history of the Great Depression that challenges much of the received wisdom.” (Harold Evans, author of The American Century and They Made America )
