Recensione:
“Justice Thomas describes his intellectual journey, and his struggle to keep body and soul together on meager government pay, in some of the book’s most absorbing and self-critical chapters.” (William Grimes, The New York Times)

“Thanks to this book, the public can get to know the man himself.” (Thomas Sowell, National Review)

“Gripping. . . . Thomas offers an education in practical wisdom and moral courage. Particularly instructive, and moving, is the portrait of his grandfather. . . . A delightful book—you really can’t put it down—but it’s also a source of moral education for young Americans.” (William Kristol, The Weekly Standard)

“A tale of pride, dertermination and independence. . . . A great American story, written by an extraordinary man.” (Rich Lowry, National Review)

“Candid. . . . A fascinating glimpse into a tortured, complex, and often perplexing personality.” (The Washington Post Book World)

“Very rewarding reading. . . . While there is anger in the book—justifiable anger, one might argue—there is also tenderness, vulnerability, brutal honesty and overflowing gratitude. . . . There is also unswerving intellectual integrity.” (Mona Charen)

“As his memoir shows, Justice Thomas’s views were forged in the crucible of a truly authentic American story.” (John Yoo, The Wall Street Journal)

“The book of the year for Americans tired of politics as usual.” (The Denver Post)

“Thomas speaks candidly about the mistakes he made that fueled his determination to overcome all odds to be appointed to the nation’s highest court.” (The Oklahoman)

“A tale so profoundly moving, and so profoundly true to this nation’s ideals, that every American father ought to read the first two chapters—and then read them aloud to his children.” (The Dallas Morning News)
