Andrew Ross Sorkin’s “1929” takes readers inside the chaos of the financial crash of 1929, 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.
