- Eric Wakin - The New York Times Book Review,
"<em>Fault Lines</em> is a brilliantly written and urgently needed account of the last half century of American history, decades during which, as Kruse and Zelizer argue, Americans abandoned a search for common ground in favor of a political culture of endless, vicious, and—very often—mindless division. A gripping and troubling account of the origins of our turbulent, desperate times."
- Jill Lepore, author of These Truths,
"Kevin M. Kruse and Julian E. Zelizer’s <em>Fault Lines</em> is a brilliant primer for understanding the troubling precedents for today’s mass American political dysfunction. Both historians are deeply informed and surefooted thinkers. A must-read foundational work for our time!"
- Douglas Brinkley, history commentator for CNN,
"[With] deep detail and taut-as-a-thriller pacing…the authors detail how the Democratic and—especially—Republican parties moved the country from post-New Deal liberalism to an increasingly hard-right philosophy, culminating with Trump…If <em>Fault Lines</em> doesn’t provide easy answers to our current dilemma, its cleareyed, pin-sharp overview is a necessary map of how we got here."
- Michaelangelo Matos - Rolling Stone,
"Kruse and Zelizer do an admirable job of creating a narrative out of the chaotic events of the recent past."
- L. Benjamin Rolsky - Los Angeles Review of Books,
