About This Book
The crash that reshaped a generation — told like never before.
Andrew Ross Sorkin (author of Too Big to Fail) takes readers inside the 1929 crash with newly uncovered documents and an eye for the human drama behind the ticker tape: visionaries and fraudsters, euphoria and ruin, alarm bells that were dismissed until it was too late.
The parallels to today are striking — soaring markets, political tensions, and the seductive belief that "this time is different." More than history, 1929 is a blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation we keep repeating.
