Back to Work: The Story of PWA is a non-fiction book written by Harold L. Ickes. It tells the story of the Public Works Administration (PWA), a government agency established during the Great Depression to create jobs and stimulate the economy by funding public infrastructure projects. The book chronicles the creation and operation of the PWA, including its successes and failures, and the impact it had on the country during a time of economic crisis. Ickes, who served as Secretary of the Interior under President Franklin D. Roosevelt and was a key figure in the development of the PWA, provides an insider's perspective on the agency's history and the political and economic forces that shaped it. Back to Work: The Story of PWA offers a fascinating look at a pivotal moment in American history and the role of government in promoting economic recovery and social welfare.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
