Review
For historians who wish for the presence of a world-class literary witness at crucial moments in history, Mailer in Miami and Chicago was heaven-sent. Michael Beschloss, "The Washington Post"
Extraordinary . . . Mailer [predicted that] we will be fighting for forty years. He got that right, among many other things. Christopher Hitchens, "The Atlantic"
Often reads like a good, old-fashioned novel in which suspense, character, plot revelations, and pungently describable action abound. "The New York Review of Books"
""
[A] masterful account . . . To understand 1968, you must read Mailer. "Chicago Tribune""
