I read Six Days in October: The Stock Market Crash of 1929. The book provided great information about the Stock Market Crash of 1929. As the book relates the devastating events of those six days, it also provides the reader with background information explaining what stocks are, the stock exchange, bonds, the process of borrowing and buying, and much more. This information helps the reader gain even more knowledge to better comprehend the events that occurred.
The book also includes lots of images of the people who played a major role during this era, newspaper clippings, actual documents used, advertisements and many photographs. These images add clarity to the text and help the reader make the connection needed for better understanding.
The quality of work that was put forth into making this book is impressive and evident. The information it provides is presented in such a manner that readers of all ages could understand.
