Industry Reviews "Kahn's book is marvelous...a splendid historical work. It is about youthful dreams in small American towns and big cities decades ago, and how some of these dreams were fulfilled, and about what happened to those dreamers after reality and old age arrived." Publisher's catalog - Gay Talese
"This isn't a book; it's a love affair between a man, his team, and an era." Christian Science Monitor
