Review
"The capston to one of the greatest careers in the history of American intellectual endeavor. With The Creators, Boorstin enters the ranks of the 'heroes of the imagination.'" --George F. Will
"A remarkable achievement an a pleasure to read." --The New York Times Book Review "There are few writers who could tackle so vast a subject with as much verve or self-assurance or infectious enthusiam as Boorstin. . . . He combines lively opinion a distinguished historian's erudition, with a first-class journalist's clarity and eye for the revealing anecdote . . . irresitible." --USA TodayAbout the Author
