| | Industry reviews | "The present memoir, written with Annette Gordon-Reed, a professor at New York University Law School, by necessity is more than a success story. It is also a recollection of the pain suffered and the bravery asserted by so many black Americans--and more than a handful of white Americans--in the struggle for political and economic equality." New York Times Book Review - Roy Reed (11/04/2001)
