Critical Reception
- "This book would be an odd and sprawling compendium were it not for the unifying effect of Mr. Brokaw's companionable style. His writing makes up in intimacy what it lacks in fancy footwork, even if a quota of '60s cultural boilerplate is part of the package." - The New York Times Review
- "In these pages he remains pleasant and affable. But the interviews yield more platitudes than insights. What is most infuriating, 40 years on, is the author's nearly absolute refusal to come to any conclusions." - WashingtonPost.com Review
