Industry reviews
"With unassuming virtuosity, James T. Patterson succeeds brilliantly at every turn in 'Grand Expectations: The United States, 1945-1974', marshaling vast numbers of facts, synthesizing all the most recent research on every aspect of postwar America, and consistently maintaining a judicious evenhandedness about complex matters that inspires and rewards a reader's confidence."
Washington Post Book World - Michael Dirda (05/26/1996)

"Fulfills all the requirements for an important work of history--broad learning expressed in lucid prose and punctuated by thoughtful interpretations. What's more, it's also a good read."
advertisement - John Morton-Blum 

"Mr. Patterson is a...historian with exceptional hindsight, and his great oeuvre is essentially a story: a people's progress....This is a careful work of history, a tour de force from the last murmurings of the New Deal through the last mutterings over Watergate."
Wall Street Journal - David M. Shribman (06/07/1996)

"...a spirited, sprawling narrative of American life....Is there need for another account, more than 800 pages in length? The answer, decidedly, is yes....A sweeping synthesis based entirely on secondary sources, 'Grand Expectations' covers its subject in meticulous detail..."
New York Times Book Review - David Oshinsky (06/30/1996)
