Industry Reviews
"...an entirely absorbing combination of historical reconstruction and social observation. Edward Ball is a journalist and he uses investigative journalism to very good effect, mixing documentary research and historical narrative with a series of expertly handled interviews....Edward Ball has made a very valuable contribution to our knowledge of this nefarious trade and what it has done to the American psyche. His book deserves to be widely read."
Literary Review - Barry Unsworth (07/19/1998)

"Ball's impressive detective work and the black voices it records build a monumental and extraordinary case history of the rise and fall of America's most shameful institution."
Kirkus Reviews (02/01/1998)

"The book is not only honest in its scrupulous reporting but also personal narrative at its finest."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Charlotte Painter (02/22/1998)
