Reviews

"This is one of the most original, intelligent and endlessly fascinating books I have read in years: it should become a set book for anyone wanting to know what truly makes America tick." -- Simon Winchester"With a journalist eye and an adventurers spirit, Bruce Feiler brings his prodigious gifts of biblical analysis to a reconsideration of Moses as the essential prophet of the American Experience. This is an accessible and engaging book of indispensible insight." -- Tony Horwitz"What a smart, original, and deeply intriguing reflection on the role Moses played - yes, Moses - in U.S. history. America's Prophet is Bruce Feiler at his innovative best: compelling, sweeping and engaging. Highly recommended!" -- Douglas Brinkley"Fascinating and thought provoking." -- Booklist (starred review)"Astunning collective portrait of an ingrown community with its own history, hierarchy, and traditions." -- The New Yorker on Under the Big Top"Penetrating and insightful. . . . Bruce Feiler's Dreaming Out Loud details the ins and outs of Nashville." -- New York Times on Dreaming Out Loud
