RaveThe Washington Independent Review of Books... an enlightening, one-of-a-kind account of humanity’s chroniclers from Greek times to the internet age ... Cohen’s well-written tome, however, doesn’t presume to be that authority. It isn’t a corrective for sketchily recorded or dubiously sourced history but a cogent reminder that \'history\' itself is fundamentally in the eye of the beholder/recorder/storyteller, at least initially.

RaveThe Washington Independent Review of BooksDetails of Finch’s life are blended deftly with the chronology of the Philippines and the world at large ... What is special about this biography is the fashion in which certain interesting and controversial topics come into view ... Mrazek is to be praised for his serious research and superior writing style, both of which make this chronicle of Florence’s real-life adventures an absorbing saga. Her receipt of the Medal of Freedom spotlighted her brave, fearless war effort, just as The Indomitable Florence Finch brings her life and service to our attention.
