1929: Inside the Greatest Crash in Wall Street History
by Andrew Ross Sorkin
Andrew Ross Sorkin's 1929 is narrative history that treats the Great Crash as a story about people rather than prices, following the bankers, speculators and politicians who talked themselves into an endless boom. If you read Too Big to Fail, this is the same method turned on October 1929, and it moves faster than 591 pages has any right to.
