This is the first history of one of the most controversial, humane, and enduring programs to come out of the terrible Depression years of the 1930s: the jobs program, known as the Works Progress Administration, that for eight years restored pride and paychecks to many millions of hungry, homeless, and jobless Americans.

Truly comphresensive
This is an excellent read. Truly comphresensive. I enjoyed the insights regarding the leading individuals in both parties in the lead-up to the Depression as well as FDR's victories in both 1932 and 1936. The commentaries on many of the personalities involved in the WPA as well as other agencies help people understand the "politics of the WPA" and people involved. Lengthy but necessary. Some of the anecdotes are priceless, especially the one dealing with MacBeth and the drummers.
