The Forgotten Man - reading

Finished "The Forgotten Man" by Amity Shlaes. A book about the politics and economy around the Great Depression, this book was maybe an order of magnitude too detailed for me. I feel like many of the things the book was trying to say got lost in the many details and side stories, or just got lost along the timeline. Don't get me wrong - the details are interesting in their own right. I just know I'm not going to remember 95% of this one.
