What The Reviewers Say

Adam Gopnik,
The New Yorker
Timothy W. Ryback’s choice to make his new book... an aggressively specific chronicle of a single year, 1932, seems a wise, even an inspired one.
Brendan Driscoll,
Booklist
Ryback offers a discerning play-by-play of this "devils’ dance" and reminds readers of the many missed opportunities for individuals to have chosen differently. He makes no reference to the present, but its relevance is obvious..

Kirkus
Riveting.

Publishers Weekly
A riveting blow-by-blow account.
