The Day the Bubble Burst by Gordon Thomas and Max Morgan-Witts (1979),basically cover the crash, lot of personal stories and financial analysis.
The Roaring Twenties and the Wall Street Crash by Richard M. Worth (2013), historical piece....covers the build-up in the 1920s, and the weeks after the crash.
The Stock Market Crash of 1929: The End of Prosperity by Brenda Lange (2007), more in-depth viewing of the crash, and recommend for people with basic ideas of finance.
The Autobiography of Calvin Coolidge by Calvin Coolidge (1929), Coolidge writes this from the position of being there throughout the 1920s. Might be a hard book to find....unless you look for the E-book.

SUPERMOB by Russo.
Meticulously researched, this mighty tome discusses the 'people'* owning and controlling minor low-level employees such as Presidents, Chancellors, and Prime Ministers.
.
Apparently, they assassinate, start wars, and crash economies partly because that sort of behavior is good for business... and partly for entertainment.
.
footnotes:
*I am convinced they are probably
something other than human.
