Review from previous edition 'Land crooks..delusional bank chairman...high rolling speculators...The woes of the local shoe-shine man and Groucho Marx get mentioned too...Klein offers a swift survey of the lunatic optimism of Wall Street and how it all turned to dust in the closing days of October...Each chapter resonates with the follies of today.' * Wall Street Journal *
'Well-written, entertaining and detailed...Klein shows how optimism gradually spawned financial euphoria.' * The New York Times Book Review *
'Rainbow's End' paints the most compelling picture yet of the stock market crash of 1929. In Maury Klein's able hands, the story of the crash ends up illuminating not just Wall Street in the Jazz Age, but America as well. Boom and bust: Klein gives us both, in all their intoxicating and hysterical glory.' * The New Yorker *
