“This is vintage Koch: provocative, fervent, controversial, opinionated.” —Jewish Book World

“Ed Koch's book on anti-Semitism displays one more time the extraordinary determination of a man who seeks to do something to affect public life. His commitment to fighting anti-Semitism is grounded in obvious and fine instincts. But what he does in this volume is point out instance after instance in which a casual association with anti-Semitism, or failure to prosecute its display, weakens the central animus.” —William F. Buckley, Jr., author of In Search of Anti-Semitism

“In his typical style, Ed Koch is both direct and thought provoking. He brings into clear focus the role that anti-Semitism has played in the history of New York City, and the role it now plays across the country and throughout the world. But The Koch Papers goes beyond that: it should be at the top of the list of anyone interested in the broad subjects of race relations, urban populations, government, and local politics.” —Senator Charles E. Schumer

“Direct exposure to the inner life of Ed Koch, in all its intricate, appalling, hilarious, entertaining, outrageous self-involvement.” —The New York Times Book Review on I'm Not Done Yet
