He may be a little biased, but the Age Of Roosevelt is an excellent description of the Great Depression. I think I have read volume 1 in another lifetime. His credibility on his Kennedy volumes is a little bit in question since he worked for the JFK administration as an official biographer. I did head his book about Robert Kennedy...which although not unbiased is very good.
I need to start reading again but my 100 mile commute and the internet get in my way lol.
