"Inspired by his combat experience in the second Lebanon war, Alick Isaacs’s goal in this deeply personal and thought provoking book is to challenge conventional perspectives on peace and war and reconcile the bellicosity found in religion with its messages of peace." —Jewish Book Council
"Searching for Hope is an even-more-compelling version of the saga Tully chronicled in his Manual Project, a series of columns in 2009 and 2010 that detailed life at Emmerich Manual High School." —Indianapolis Monthly
"[A] fastidiously researched and fascinating portrayal of an actor’s life. ... While theater enthusiasts will enjoy the care and detail that Beth Holmgren took with Starring Madame Modjeska: On Tour in Poland in America, readers of history will appreciate the role this woman played on the world’s stage. It makes for great drama." —NewPages
