Illuminated and enlivened. . . [Beatty's] ability to hot-wire our history to the here and now is what gives Age of Betrayal its distinctive bite. * Los Angeles Times Book Review on The Age of Betrayal *

Absorbing in its detail and refreshingly uncompromising in its perspective * Boston Globe on The Age of Betrayal *
