"Gil is a solid scholar and a lucid writer. But never has he written a book like this. It is the passion, the outrage, that distinguishes Moynihan's Moment in Gil's corpus. He has simply found the right subject. Few writers are this lucky." --Stephen H. Hess, Brookings Institution
."..meticulous, well-woven and readable...calls much-needed attention to an issue that reverberates still..." --Robert A. Peck, Jewish Book World "Troy has written both a quasi-biography of Moynihan and a history of the evil resolution. Both are comprehensive, well integrated, and fluently narrated." --John Bolton, Commentary ."..the new book by the deep and graceful historian Gil Troy...[is] a highly sophisticated intellectual history of liberal America in the last decades of the 20th century..." --Marty Peretz, New York Observer "Beautifully written, and rich in its insight and analysis, Gil Troy's compelling study of Moynihan's Moment is the definitive account of this episode and of why its legacy is an enduring one." --David G. Dalin, National Review
."..Troy thinks the fight against Resolution 3379 was Moynihan's greatest moment, and it is hard to argue with him." --Suzanne Garment, Jewish Review of Books "Gil Troy's volume on the late Daniel Moynihan is superb. It demonstrates his power of critical analysis as well as his commitment to what is eternal and noble in Jewishness." --Elie Wiesel
"Gil Troy's book about Senator Patrick Moynihan's fight to rescind the UN resolution equating Zionism with racism reveals the full extent of Moynihan's leadership, intellect, and integrity. Those qualities are sorely missed in the ongoing battles to prevent the delegitimization of Israel being waged in the UN Assembly and elsewhere." --Edward I. Koch
