Mike Newall, the Philadelphia Inquirer
“Told with such startling intensity it is as if our lives depend on it.”
Lorene Cary, author of The Price of a Child
“Very few history documentaries achieve the sweep of In Pursuit.”
Thomas J. Sugrue, author of Sweet Land of Liberty
“A riveting, cinematic narrative, a strong focus on history-making characters, and a keen attention to the historical record.”
Donald L. Miller, author of Chicago: City of the Century
“It isn’t often that we in the history profession discover new nourishment to feed the popular imagination‚ and no time may be better than the present, but I am delighted to say that In Pursuit is one.”
