"Blum delineates his academic training and professional ascent in detail. Dustups with colleagues and run-ins with the activist Left at Yale during the Vietnam era punctuate a compelling narrative. Woven throughout are revealing discussions of Blum's scholarship, ranging from early studies of Teddy Roosevelt to his big book on politics and public policy in the 1960s. Blum's prose is a pleasure read, ranking with recent memoirs by contemporaries Peter Gay, Charles Roland, and Arthur Schlesinger Jr." --Choice
"An engrossing story of the life and times of a great historian. Blum's world mirrors the American Century and illuminates the vitality and importance of history and scholarship in making our lives both rich and meaningful."--James Chace, author of Acheson
"What makes the book so outstanding is the precise and perceptive way in which Blum describes the world of Ivy League education and political power. There is no more compelling account of how Yale worked from the inside."--Lewis Gould, author of The Modern American Presidency
"A splendid memoir by one of America's most distinguished historians--judicious, perceptive, and beautifully written."--James Patterson, author of Grand Expectations: The United States, 1945-1974
