Charles R. Morris,The Trillion Dollar Meltdown "Benjamin Roth has left us a vivid portrait of the Great Depression that is all the more powerful for the similarities and differences with the financial upheavals of today. Roth enables us -- in ways no historian can match -- to immerse ourselves in the sense of despair that Americans of that era felt and their hope that the economy would revive, long before it did. To read the diaries now is both enlightening and chilling."Jonathan Alter,The Defining Moment: FDR's Hundred Days and the Triumph of Hope "We imagine the Great Depression at two extremes--Franklin Roosevelt's jaunty smile and the haunting images of Dustbowl destitution. But in between were everyday middle class strivers like Benjamin Roth, trying to sort through the wreckage. FDR and the WPA may be long gone but the professional class remains, and the record of its struggle in the Depression has been thin until now. Roth's incisive diaries are more than a precious time capsule. They speak to our economic hopes and fears directly, and to the bewilderment of our own time." , Charles R.

New York Times "Mr. Roth's diaries … are compelling reading, because they force readers to reflect on both the similarities and the differences between then and now…. We're all a little like Benjamin Roth, asking questions we don't know the answer to, and wonder, as he did 70 years ago, whether the crisis is, indeed, over."

This moving book is edited by [Roth's] son Daniel." MoneySense "A fascinating read, and strangely familiar."
