Critics Review
Praise for Pulitzer Prize-winning author Ted Morgan A Covert Life: Jay Lovestone, Communist, Anti-Communist, and Spymaster
“A rich and detailed account … one of the most important and original books in many years about American politics, about the politics of communism in the middle decades of the century, and about the role of the CIA in the political struggles of the cold war. But Morgan’s book does not simply get all that straight; it is also a delight to read… . Morgan has a great talent for narrative.” –Thomas Powers, The New York Review of Books
A Shovel of Stars: The Making of the American West–1800 to the Present
“An exhilarating collection of the experiences of Americans as they settled the West during the nineteenth century … Morgan keeps the reader’s attention on the individuals who shared the hardships and made successes of the long process.” –James Benet, San Francisco Chronicle
Wilderness at Dawn: The Settling of the North American Continent
“Ted Morgan is a master storyteller.” –Mary Beth Norton, The Washington Post Book World
