You don't understand...there are thousands of books on this period (for some reason, only one of the books you mention are about this period...Mackay was written several decades before the 20s, Chancellor is a general history, Lefevre is interesting but not really going to give you the information you need as it is a personal story).

The book that I cite is identical to the OP. The author goes through newspapers from the period leading up to 1929 (and iirc, through to the late 30s).
