Extremely well researched and written. Also, provides easy reference to "cast of characters", and a "time line", by year, of relevant events occurring in that year.
I've read Jim Powell's "FDR's Folly: How Roosevelt and His New Deal Prolonged the Great Depression", also a very well researched and well written book. FDR's Folly was very technical in explaining it's case for the prolonged recovery.
Amity Shlaes, goes a step further by filling in the gaps regarding the relevant personalities involved in the New Deal by giving up-front-and-personal information on their backgrounds and interactions with one another and with FDR.
