Reviews

An excellent book. . . . There have been other biographies of Pulitzer, most notably W.A. Swanberg's published in 1967, but James McGrath Morris's is the best. It is authoritative, lucid and fair to its complicated subject. --Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post

An accomplished new biography. . . . Pulitzer is not its subject s first biography. But it is by far the best at explaining Pulitzer s St. Louis years. -- The St. Louis Post-Dispatch
