Now available: Class Warfare -- Inside America's Schools
Responding to the rising national interest in education reform, the new book Class Warfare - Inside America's Schools by Steven Brill reports on the challenges and successes of the education reform movement over the last several decades.
"Steve Brill has combined extraordinary reporting with smart passion to create one of the most important historical narratives of our era. This inside story of the school reform crusade is an inspiring saga filled with genuine heroes. This is investigative journalism and powerful writing at its best."
-- Walter Isaacson, CEO, Aspen Institute; Board chair, Teach For America; author of Einstein and Benjamin Franklin
"Class Warfare inspires! This is a unique and critically important story about true heroes in America who against great odds are making a real difference. More than this, Brill's work sheds important light on the savage educational disparities faced by low-income communities across the country and through his work he trumpets what should be a call to action by all of us. Brill is brilliant in his writing and his work will inspire and fortify all those struggling with the challenges of education in America."
-- Cory A. Booker, Mayor of Newark, NJ
