1929: The Inside Story of The Greatest Crash in Wall Street History
A cinematic and deeply researched narrative that goes behind the scenes of the most infamous financial collapse in history. Sorkin, the author of Too Big to Fail, uses newly uncovered documents and historical records to reconstruct the weeks surrounding the crash, focusing on the human drama involving Wall Street titans, desperate speculators, and Washington politicians. The book explores the psychological forces of greed and blind optimism that fueled the speculative bubble and the subsequent panic that dismantled fortunes and reshaped a generation. By highlighting the warning signs that were ignored and the internal battles between financiers, 1929 serves as both a definitive historical account and a cautionary blueprint for understanding modern cycles of financial upheaval.
