"The New Yorker"
There's nothing more deeply moving than reading the words and thus hearing the voices of the actual survivors of hard times. McElvaine has captured these voices as no one else ever has.
—Studs Terkel
The book is unique. Nowhere else can we read of despair as recorded by those who were feeling it hardest, unfiltered by memory.
—"Southern Living"
[This] book is easily the best thing of its sort ever done.
—David Shannon, Commonwealth Professor of History, University of Virginia
