The most riveting book ever to have been published by the United States government. -- The New Republic
The King James Bible (1611) [was] our language's lone masterpiece produced by committee, at least until this year's 9/11 Commission Report. -- John Updike - The New Yorker
The findings [are] presented in a dramatic, often gripping style. -- The New York Times
