About This Item
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart, 1990. The most searing decade in Canadian history began in 1929, symbolized by the stock market crash, and ended in 1939 when the Second World War created jobs for everybody. This is the first book to tell the full chronological story. Berton's cast of characters is as extraordinary as ever : Mackenzie King and R.B. Bennett as Prime Mininsters; Maurice Duplessis who padlocked the homes of those who didn't agree with him; J.S. Woodsworth founder of the CCF; Tim Buck the mild mannered communist leader and many more. There are lessons to be learned from this timely exploration of the follies and tragedies of the Hungry Thirties. This is a passionate, personal book based on wide-ranging and unimpeachable sources. Illustrated endpapers. An extremely bright book in a price-intact dust jacket.. ISBN: 0-7710-1270-5. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Great Depression + Hungry Thirties + Canada + Canadian History + Mackenzie King + R B Bennett + Maurise Duplessis + J S Woodsworth + Tim Buck + Ecnomic Conditions. Catalogs: Canadiana.
