1929: The Inside Story of The Greatest Crash in Wall Street History By Andrew Ross Sorkin

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF TOO BIG TO FAIL COMES A SPELLBINDING, IMMERSIVE NARRATIVE OF THE MOST INFAMOUS STOCK MARKET CRASH IN HISTORY.

“Superb... brings the great drama to life.” — Martin Wolf, Financial Times

Named a Best Book of the Year by The New York Times, Financial Times, The Economist, Bloomberg, TIME, and The Washington Post, and featured as one of Barack Obama's favourite books, 1929 is a landmark achievement in financial history.

In 1929, the world watched in stunned disbelief as an unstoppable Wall Street bull market collapsed into freefall, obliterating fortunes and triggering a global depression that redefined a generation. Drawing on unprecedented access to historical archives and newly uncovered documents, Andrew Ross Sorkin takes readers straight into the panic-fueled chaos of the trading floor. Behind the ticker tapes lies a gripping drama of visionaries and fraudsters, towering titans and tragic dreamers, and a high-stakes power struggle between Wall Street and Washington.

Eerily echoing today’s volatile markets, 1929 is a brilliant exploration of ambition, hubris, human psychology, and the dangerous illusion that "this time is different."
