"After reading David McCullough's account, you will never look at
the old bridge in quite the same way again." --Christopher
Lehmann-Haupt, "The New York Times"
""The Great Bridge" is a great book. . . . What David McCullough
has written is a stupendous narrative about the building of the
Brooklyn Bridge, with a cast of thousands (give or take 100), whose
major characters come alive on the page as authentically, as
creatively, as would their fictional counterparts if one had the
imagination to dream up such a yarn. Once again, truth is not only
stranger than fiction but a hell of a lot more entertaining. Get
your hands on "The Great Bridge". . . . This is the definitive book
on the event. Do not wait for a better try: there won't be any."
--Norman Rosten, "Newsday"
"David McCullough has taken a dramatic and colorful episode out of
the American past and described it in such a way that he sheds
fresh light on a whole era in American history." --Bruce Catton
"McCullough is one of our most gifted living writers." --Marie
Arana, "The Washington Post"
"The impact of the soaring structure upon the American imagination
and American life has now been measured with sagacity and style by
David McCullough. . . . "The Great Bridge" is a book so compelling
and complete as to be a literary monument, one of the best books I
have read in years. McCullough has written that sort of work which
brings us to the human center of the past." --Robert Kirsch, "Los
Angeles Times"
