What The Reviewers Say

Barton Swaim,
The Wall Street Journal
Rice has written an engaging, deftly constructed but conspicuously partisan account of the brief period that changed the United States for the worse.
Robert G. Kaiser,
The Washington Post
... engaging.
Barrie Olmstead,
Booklist
While a few of Rice’s contentions feel forced, his narrative is propulsive and entertaining and he manages to make the outcome of that fateful election seem anything but assured. This book will appeal to readers of popular history à la Erik Larson’s work..

Publishers Weekly
... fast-paced and jam-packed.
