Recenzii
"Edelman chronicles the... dramatic fall of concern for the poor in this blend of policy history, autobiography, and call to political action... Readers who have held on to their liberal convictions will find Edelman's take refreshing." -- Publishers Weekly "A moving and insightful look at poverty, attitudes and social programs in the United States [and] an inspiring portrait of a public servant who believes government can, and should, make a difference in people's lives." -- Atlanta Journal-Constitution
