What The Reviewers Say
One of the many virtues of The Last Million is the author’s ability to make vivid sense of a bewildering moment. He clarifies without oversimplifying.
... a characteristically thorough and impressively researched account.
... insightful and eye-opening.
Nasaw does a masterful job of bringing to light the lasting individual and global consequences of policies and attitudes surrounding the last million.
