"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
