Synopsis
In this unique recreation of one of the most dramatic periods in modern American history, Studs Terkel recaptures the Great Depression of the 1930s in all its complexity. Featuring a mosaic of memories from politicians, businessmen, artists, and writers, from those who were just kids to those who remember losing a fortune, Hard Times is not only a gold mine of information but a fascinating interplay of memory and fact, revealing how the Depression affected the lives of those who experienced it firsthand.

Review
A huge anthem in praise of the American spirit.
Wonderful!....It will resurrect your faith in all of us to read this book.
Open [it] to almost any page and rich memories spill out....Read a page, any page. Then try to stop.
Anybody who wants to know where we were and how we got to where we are now-read this book. -- Arthur Miller
From the Inside Flap
Terkel's classic work, with a new introduction by the author. "HARD TIMES doesn't render the time of the Depression or historicize about it - it is that time, its lingo, mood, its tragic and hilarious stories..." - Arthur Miller.
