School Library Journal : "Because of the even-handed presentation, the title makes a strong and lasting impression. The writings are well chosen. A thoughtful and well-delineated addition."
-- School Library Journal (April 2003)
School Library Journal : "This book will give students an understanding of a difficult time in American history."
-- School Library Journal (September 2002)
School Library Journal : "This collection of primary-source material presents a well-balanced treatise on who knew what, and when, and who was responsible. This title deals with a debate that is seldom addressed."
-- School Library Journal (July 2002)
Booklist : "As with books in the long-running Opposing Viewpoints series, the excerpts here clearly express opposing opinions on an issue...The effect of the entire volume is to create an informative, many-sided representation."
-- Booklist (May 2002)
Library Media Connection : "The titles in the series take an analytical look at many controversial episodes in history. Not only do they look at the historical events and facts surrounding them, but also at the sequence in which they occurred. What happened and why is presented through a collection of articles using primary and secondary sources. Many different facets of the topic are analyzed and interpreted... Both titles will be valuable additions to the social studies and history sections of junior and senior high school libraries. Recommended."
