This is a good alternate history of The Great Depression which does not idolize FDR as usual, but shows him as the bumbling technocrat that he was.
In particular: Herbert Hoover wanted to do the bank holiday ASAP to stabilize markets, but FDR literally wouldn't return his calls. FDR wanted to wait until after he was in office, so he would get the credit for it.
