"I'll be shocked if there's another book this year as important as
Charles Murray's 'Coming Apart.'"
--David Brooks, The New York Times
"Mr. Murray's sobering portrait is of a nation where millions of
people are losing touch with the founding virtues that have long
lent American lives purpose, direction and happiness."
--W. Bradford Wilcox, The Wall Street Journal
"'Coming Apart: The State of White America 1960-2010' brims with
ideas about what ails America."
-- The Economist
"a timely investigation into a worsening class divide no
one can afford to ignore."
--Publisher's Weekly "[Charles Murray] argues for the need to focus
on what has made the U.S. exceptional beyond its wealth and
military power...religion, marriage, industriousness, and
morality."
--Booklist (Starred Review) "Charles Murray ... has written
an incisive, alarming, and hugely frustrating book about the state
of American society."
--Roger Lowenstein, Bloomberg Businessweek
