Since Yesterday

'Since Yesterday' (1940) is a journalistic history of the 1930's in America. Frederick Lewis Allen also wrote 'Only Yesterday' (1930) about the 1920's, and these two books are probably his most well known and popular. It is written in a conversational tone for a popular audience and at times is really entertaining and fascinating. It's at its best discussing popular culture and the changing zeitgeist of America, the political...

Don't overlook this book

Though not the equal of "Only Yesterday," Allen's wonderful book about America in the 1920s, "Since Yesterday" continues where its predecessor left off: it is an excellent overview of the American experience in that trying decade, the 1930s. Allen once again seems to touch on all the significant social, political, cultural and economic events during the decade. I refrained from giving it 5 stars only because Allen wrote...

"Since Yesterday" - seems just like today!

Frederick Lewis Allen begins this short book (346 pages) where he left off in his last book (?Only Yesterday?) - with the stock market crash of 1929 - and ends it with the advent of World War II in 1939. Allen skillfully weaves the minor events of this decade (the fads, books, crimes, machines, gadgets, personalities, movies, fashions, etc.) togetherwith the major events (the stock market crash, the ?Great Depression?, and...

Excellent Contemporary Account of the 1930's

Allen covers the period from September 3, 1929, to September 3, 1939. Interestingly, the first date is when the Bull Market reached its peak, and the last date is when England and France declared war on Germany. The book is an excellent contemporary account of the 1930's. The topics that Allen thought were noteworthy in 1939 are still noteworthy today. Anyone who reads this book should also read "Only Yesterday" which...

A wonderful review of the 30's

Frederick Allen wrote this wonderful followup of his book "Only Yesterday" as news of Germany's invasion of Poland was anounced. He brings the era alive with descriptions of what people wore, the movies they went to see, the books they read and how people felt about their everyday life. Allen used information from papers, magazines and even advertisements in a refreahing descriptive way that will draw you into the 30s...
