From the Publisher: In this unique re-creation of one of the most dramatic periods in modern American history, Studs Terkel recaptures the Great Depression of the 1930s in all its complexity. The book is a mosaic of memories from those who were richest to those who were most destitute: politicians like James Farley and Raymond Moley; businessmen like Bill Benton and Clement Stone; a six-day bicycle racer; artists and writers; racketeers; speakeasy...

A light in the window is a story about the love, strength, devotion and struggles of the young Miller family during the depression years on a farm in Colorado.

Photographs and text tell the story of a decade of challenge and change, discussing the economic crash of 1929 and the resulting social and political reforms, from federal programs such as Social Security to local grass-roots movements.
