“The Bonus Army is a terrific book. Exhaustively researched but simply written, it holds the reader’s attention from beginning to end. I personally remember the momentous events of the July day in 1932, but before reading this account I had no idea of the drama, the pathos, the confusion, and the lasting importance of the event. Highly recommended for any reader who seeks a rounded knowledge of America of the twentieth century.”—John S. D. Eisenhower
“A model of clear-eyed history. The book never flinches, though you will. And, here and there, readers may speculate as to today’s military, its eventual return from the Middle East, and its response to the riches that some U.S. civilians have meanwhile amassed.”—James H. Bready, Baltimore Sun
“So well researched and historically accurate that this reader was only left with a sense of disgust in my gut and a renewed resolve to fight for the just respect the American veteran has earned . . . Read this book.”—Veterans Journal
