"Dambisa Moyo, a former Goldman Sachs analyst with a doctorate from Oxford, offers up a well-reasoned look at how the world's most advanced nations are squandering their economic lead—and how they might survive by fighting Chinese fire with fire."—James Pressley, Bloomberg News

"Reading Chomsky today is sobering and instructive . . . He is a global phenomenon . . . perhaps the most widely read voice on foreign policy on the planet."—The New York Times Book Review

"A passionate and stirring book, narrated with great power and vividness of detail, and with consummate respect for those whom it portrays. A deeply humane and morally important work that ought to be required reading for our national and local civic leaders. I read it with tremendous admiration for the author's honesty and courage."—Jonathan Kozol, author of Amazing Grace and Ordinary Resurrections

"Historians generally agree that James Buchanan was the worst U.S. president. After all, it was on his unhappy watch that the Union disintegrated. Far from wishing to rehabilitate Buchanan, Baker wants to bury him deeper in infamy. She brilliantly shows how Buchanan's mishandling of the mini-Civil War between pro- and anti-slavery factions in Kansas led to John Brown's raid on Harper's Ferry and helped make the greater conflict inevitable, and how his vacillation and dithering allowed rebels to seize federal forts and arsenals across the South."—Foreign Affairs

"Provocative . . . Wills's stimulating biography offers us a compelling reason to reconsider the presidency of James Madison."—James F. Simon, The New York Times Book Review

"Diggins acquits himself well in the shorter format of the American President series. Like McCullough, he spends time considering Adams in the light of political alter ego Thomas Jefferson, who lived as an aristocrat while speaking as a radical yet unfairly accused his sober-minded, eminently democratic opponent of being Caesar in the making . . . The solid interpretation of events will interest students of the presidency and the early republic."—Kirkus Reviews

"Capable and thoughtful . . . Does Adams justice and well serves to acquaint readers with a neglected leader."—Kirkus Reviews
