The 1930's

I took a history class in college on the 1930s. I think there was some glamour to it with Amelia Earhart, movies with sound and color, and even organized crime. But I agree with Karen, it was the time of the Depression and the Dust Bowl. I read a book called "In the Garden of Beasts" about the American ambassador to Germany in the late 1930s, which was during the rise of the Nazi party. It talks about how he communicated with the government in Washington as he became more and more aware of what was going on. But Washington didn't (or wouldn't) listen, so he ultimately packed up his family and came home. It's by Erik Larson, who also wrote "Devil in the White City".
