Ensslin, Rocky Mountain News “I am enthralled. A page-turner. . . . What a palatable way to learn American history!” — Leonard Dinnerstein, author of Natives and Strangers “The best-informed account of the clan. . . . An engaging history of the famous family.” — Booklist “Indelible and intriguing . . . meticulously researched and very well written. An American saga.” — Norman F. Cantor, author of The Sacred Chain: The History of the Jews “Fascinating...an engaging story recounted by the Ungers in fast-paced, well-documented style.” — Robin Updike, Seattle Times “Excellent...pitch-perfect...their narrative moves more swiftly than any 550-page group biogrpahy has any right to.” — Francis Morrone, New York Sun
