4381. Between the Wars: America, 1919-1941 Second Edition, by David A. Shannon (read 11 Nov 2007) I finished reading this book on 11 Nov 2007. It is kind of a basic book, designed for students who want to familiarize themselves with US history between 1919 and 1941. But I found it quite well-done, and the author's opinions are well-balanced and probably right. I cannot say I learned a lot new, but it is a good narrative and engaging. There are no footnotes, and it would have been nice if there were some, but I suppose there are none because his sources are all secondary sources, so far as I can tell. The bibliography is a bit dated already, since this book came out in 1979. This turned out to be a better book than I expected when I started to read it. ( )
