Back to Work: The Story of PWA is a non-fiction book written by Harold L. Ickes, which chronicles the history of the Public Works Administration (PWA) during the Great Depression. The PWA was a New Deal program created by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, aimed at providing employment and stimulating economic growth by funding public works projects across the United States. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the PWA's formation, its policies, and its impact on the nation's infrastructure. It also offers insights into the political and economic climate of the time, including the challenges faced by the Roosevelt administration in implementing the program. Through a combination of historical research and personal anecdotes, Ickes presents a compelling narrative of the PWA's achievements and shortcomings. He also discusses the program's legacy and its influence on subsequent government initiatives aimed at promoting economic growth and job creation. Overall, Back to Work: The Story of PWA is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the New Deal, the Great Depression, and the role of government in promoting economic recovery.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
