About this title: Timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of FDR's New Deal, this work is the first comprehensive look at one of the most controversial, humane, and enduring programs ever: the Works in Progress Administration, which put more than eight million Americans back to work after the Great Depression. Includes two 16-page photo inserts.

"A fairly interesting book that was a plenty good read; however, it felt like the ending was rushed.
If you are a fan of early 20h Century American history, then this is a book you should read. Nick Taylor explores, in depth, the Hoover administration and its deficiencies. Personally, I think that Taylor goes a little overboard with his sole blame on the Hoover administration, but agree with the fact the administration did nothing to help the issue at hand--the Great Depression.
The author does a wonderful job of going into the campaigning of Hoover and Roosevelt for the 1932 election, and proceeds to send the reader into a full-fledged onslaught of the setup and evolution of the WPA and most of the New Deal.
Again, for those who like early 20h Century American history, this is a must read. Be warned that it does tend to end abruptly."
