(#2100-06 DVD color/bw 30:00 - incl. PPR)

Soup kitchens and bread lines quickly replaced the speakeasies and flappers of the 1920s. It would take the far-reaching programs of the New Deal—and the massive investment to meet the challenges of World War II—to finally lift the country from a decade of despair.
