Reviews / Votes
This is an impressive and wide-ranging book, one in which the author displays mastery of a dazzling array of topics and disciplines ... The author also writes in a very colourful and lively style, ensuring that the book is always easy to read ... this is an enjoyable and informative work, one that will prove valuable both to Californian historians and to students of the Great Depression. * Philip J. Cullis, University of Edinburgh, Labour History Review, Vol 64, no 1, spring 1999 *More details
