"“1929” by @andrewrsorkin - one of the best history reads in recent times. Andrew knows how to extract the human narrative out of a complex series of market movements bigger than any one individual while also bringing you along on how these pieces fit together. I find myself writing notes on various pages comparing them to other personalities and incidents. Also fun to go dig deep into people I wasn’t familiar with like Thomas Lamont of JPMorgan & Co. Strong recommend."

"I read an advance copy of Andrew Sorkin’s new book ‘1929’. Like ‘Too Big to Fail’, 1929 puts you in the room as the events leading up to the crash and the Great Depression are born and develop. You get to understand the history, meet the players, and watch history unfold. It’s a great read for anyone interested in investing, markets, history, economics, government, politics, and I have recommended only a few books on @X. This is a great one. Not to be missed. I look forward to the movie."
