Sobre este e-book
""Bonus Army March"" examines the 1932 protests in Washington D.C., where World War I veterans sought early payment of their promised bonuses amid the Great Depression.
This book uniquely connects the economic desperation of veterans, the political debates surrounding the bonus bill, and the severe consequences of the government's response.
The narrative reveals how the Hoover administration's actions contributed to its unpopularity.
The book traces the veterans' journey to Washington, their establishment of encampments, and their interactions with Congress.
It highlights that the initial bonus legislation was the World War Adjusted Compensation Act in 1924, but as economic hardship intensified, veterans demanded immediate relief.
Supported by primary sources like letters and government documents, the book progresses from establishing the historical context of WWI, through the march on Washington, and culminates in the government's controversial eviction of the veterans.
It provides a comprehensive account of a pivotal moment in American history, detailing the social movements, veterans' affairs, and the governmentâs handling of the economic hardship.
The book provides a balanced perspective on the events and encourages readers to consider the ongoing debate about the governmentâs responsibility to its veterans.
