"Andrew Ross Sorkin has done it again. 1929 is mesmerizing from beginning to end--a deeply important book. Like Too Big to Fail , it's a masterclass in narrative nonfiction, a dazzling taleof a pivotal moment in history brought to life through meticulousreporting. The colorful characters, the politics, the financial mania--it all unfolds with eerie relevance. You feel like you're reading about today. I was blown away." -- Walter Isaacson, "In this glorious account of the 1929 crash, Andrew Ross Sorkin conjures up the mad euphoria, crushing collapse, and subsequent political reckoning with equal finesse. He tells the story through a rich cast of unforgettable characters and resists the urge to portray them as simple heroes or villains so much as flawed people lost in a calamity almost beyond their comprehension. This converts his saga into a timeless cautionary tale that speaks to the present no less than the past." --Ron Chernow "Andrew Ross Sorkin has done it again. 1929 is mesmerizing from beginning to end--a deeply important book.

The colorful characters, the politics, the financial mania--it all unfolds with eerie relevance. You feel like you're reading about today. I was blown away." --Walter Isaacson "In Andrew Ross Sorkin's fresh and revealing telling, the stock market crash of 1929 becomes a great human drama, full of contingency and misunderstanding, friends and enemies, courage and fear, greed and generosity. Out of that financial catastrophe came many of the institutions and ideas that we still turn to in moments of crisis. But as Sorkin shows, even those with the greatest wealth and power and experience can still be caught off guard by the twists and turns of history." --Beverly Gage "With a storyteller's eye and an expert's grasp of detail, Andrew Ross Sorkin has given us an engaging and memorable account of one of the largest events in American history--the Crash of 1929. In Sorkin's gifted hands, this is a human drama with profound consequences for democracy and for capitalism--and it is a reminder of the fragility of the things we like to think are invulnerable." --Jon Meacham, "Andrew Ross Sorkin has done it again. 1929 is mesmerizing from beginning to end--a deeply important book.

I was blown away." --Walter Isaacson, New York Times bestselling author of Steve Jobs and Benjamin Franklin "When a story of immense historical gravity--the drama and trauma of 1929--meets a writer steeped in its scholarship and gifted with a rare clarity of vision, the result is a work of lasting resonance: tangible and immediate. In 1929 , Andrew Ross Sorkin captures the moment when ambition, greed, and speculative euphoria collided to plunge America into an economic abyss, sparking the Great Depression. Through vivid storytelling and a cast of powerfully rendered characters, Sorkin reveals a nation at the breaking point--grappling with denial, reckoning, and the steep cost of excess. It's a haunting elegy for a fractured era, and a timeless reminder that progress is fragile, choices have repercussions, and the flaws embedded in the human condition are ours to confront." --Doris Kearns Goodwin, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of No Ordinary Time and An Unfinished Love Story "In this glorious account of the 1929 crash, Andrew Ross Sorkin conjures up the mad euphoria, crushing collapse, and subsequent political reckoning with equal finesse.

As you read his brilliant narrative, the tragic arc of the personal stories mirrored by the unfolding calamity overtaking the nation at large, you cannot help but think of today." --Liaquat Ahamed, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Lords of Finance, "In this glorious account of the 1929 crash, Andrew Ross Sorkin conjures up the mad euphoria, crushing collapse, and subsequent political reckoning with equal finesse.

Synopsis
Named a Most Anticipated Book by New York Times Books Review , TIME , Washington Post , Associated Press , Town & Country , New York Post , and more From the bestselling author of Too Big to Fail , "the definitive history of the 2008 banking crisis,"* comes a spellbinding narrative of the most infamous stock market crash in history. With the depth of a classic history and the drama of a thriller, 1929 unravels the greed, blind optimism, and human folly that led to an era-defining collapse--one with ripple effects that still shape our society today. In 1929 , the world watched in shock as the unstoppable Wall Street bull market went into a freefall, wiping out fortunes and igniting a depression that would reshape a generation. But behind the flashing ticker tapes and panicked traders, another drama unfolded--one of visionaries and fraudsters, titans and dreamers, euphoria and ruin. With unparalleled access to historical records and newly uncovered documents, New York Times bestselling author Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers inside the chaos of the crash, behind the scenes of a raging battle between Wall Street and Washington and the larger-than-life characters whose ambition and naivete in an endless boom led to disaster. The dizzying highs and brutal lows of this era eerily mirror today's world--where markets soar, political tensions mount, and the fight over financial influence plays out once again. This is not just a story about money. 1929 is a tale of power, psychology, and the seductive illusion that "this time is different." It's about disregarded alarm bells, financiers who fell from grace, and skeptics who saw the crash coming--only to be dismissed until it was too late. Hailed as a landmark book, Too Big to Fail reimagined how financial crises are told. Now, with 1929 , Sorkin delivers an immersive, electrifying account of the most pivotal market collapse of all time--with lessons that remain as urgent as ever. More than just a history, 1929 is a crucial blueprint for understanding the cycles of speculation, the forces that drive financial upheaval, and the warning signs we ignore at our peril. * The Atlantic Monthly, "It is one of the best narrative histories I've read." --Judge Glock, The Wall Street Journal Named a Most Anticipated Book by New York Times Books Review , TIME , Washington Post , Associated Press , Town & Country , New York Post , and more From the bestselling author of Too Big to Fail, "the definitive history of the 2008 banking crisis," ( The Atlantic ) comes a riveting narrative of the most infamous stock market crash in history--one with ripple effects that still shape our society today.
