In a reporting tour de force that made national headlines and The New York Times bestseller list, award-winning journalist Steven Brill takes an uncompromising look at the adults who are fighting over America’s failure to educate its children-and points the way to reversing that failure.'Written with a storyteller’s page-turning magic.' -The Wall Street Journal'Brings a sharp legal mind to the world of education reform…. Brill conveys the epiphanies, setbacks, and triumphs of a national reform movement.' -The New York Times Book Review'Brill’s access to key players allows him to give readers privileged glimpses into various meetings that were seldom reported on but had great impact on the thrust of reform.' -The Washington Post'Steven Brill’s Class Warfare is hard-hitting, illuminating, and inspiring. It’s also as fast-paced and gripping as a thriller.' -Amy Chua, Yale Law Professor and author of Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother and Day of Empire'An extraordinarily well researched and compelling account . This is a masterpiece, both as history and as a catalyst for continued change. Far from the usual one-sided account the subject typically engenders, Brill’s work is balanced, sophisticated-and a real page-turner.' -Chris Christie, Governor of New Jersey
