Review:
CRITICAL PRAISE FOR BARLETT AND STEELE

"They are almost certainly the best team in the history of investigative reporting."
--"Washington Journalism Review"

"Instead of just reporting still unproven accusations and focusing on individual corruption, [they reveal] with expert analysis and thorough documentation what has systematically gone wrong with the powerful, complex institutions that affect so much of life today."
--Leonard Downie, Jr., author of "The New Muckrakers: An Inside Look at America's Investigative Reporters"

CRITICAL PRAISE FOR "AMERICA: WHAT WENT WRONG?"

"Once or twice in a generation, the American people are jolted by a book that helps bring about major change. "America: What Went Wrong". . . is a monumental achievement. . . "
--"Chicago Sun-Times"

"Barlett and Steele have incisively and vividly defined the problem facing the nation. . . "
--"The New York Times"

""America: What Went Wrong? "probably is the most complete and revealing piece of reporting since turn-of-the-century muckrakers shocked the nation with descriptions of inhuman working conditions and big city political machines."
--"Maine Sunday Telegram"

"It is easy to see why "America: What Went Wrong?" is quite simply some of the best American news reporting in years. . . The authors have done a great service to the public by accumulating all this vital information in such a clear and simple manner."
"--Boston Phoenix"
