The book is written with unusual vividness and is particularly strong on the social and cultural texture of the period: on how ordinary people experienced the Depression, fascism, and the approach of war. One of the most ambitious works of popular history about the twentieth century — a decade in which liberal democracy came within reach of extinction, told with the detail and the gravity that scale demands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"epoch-endorsement\"\u003e'A magnificent and disturbing panorama of the 1930s.
