‘This Fight Is Our Fight is a smart, tough-minded book … What Democrats need right now is a reason to keep fighting. And that’s something Warren’s muscular, unapologetic book definitely offers. It’s an important contribution’
New York Times
‘This Fight Is Our Fight provides an insider’s look at the machinations that are undermining the US economy and political system. Warren spells out what is happening and what needs to be done to reverse the slide … It is unusual for any politician to be so open’
New York Journal of Books
‘Girded for battle, the senior senator from Massachusetts forcefully lays out the bleak picture of an American government increasingly controlled by corporate greed and special interests … The author sounds the alarm that an oligarchy is in the making, and her urgency is palpable and necessary. Inspiring words to empower Warren’s marching army’
Kirkus, starred review
‘Warren’s moment has arrived … To understand why Senator Elizabeth Warren is the fastest-rising new star in the Democratic Party … read her new book’
The Hill
‘A startling account of the elusiveness of the American Dream’
TIME
‘She is still the fiery advocate who called for a bureau to protect consumers’
New York Times
‘After reading this book, it is comforting to know that Elizabeth Warren, with her passion, anger and bluntness, will not be silenced’
Washington Post
‘Intelligent and informative … [Warren is] good, plainspoken company who makes you feel smarter for having spent such easy time with her’
Entertainment Weekly
‘As a politician and activist, Warren’s great strength is that she retains the outsider’s perspective, and the outsider’s sense of moral outrage … she doesn’t take no for an answer’
New York Review of Books
‘The Wall Street watchdog and US senator has produced a readable and sometimes infuriating explanation of the biggest financial crisis of our time’
People
‘[Warren] has a compelling story to tell … She is also entertaining about professional politics’
Economist
‘Revealing … Warren’s book describes the troubling patterns and practices of high-level Washington’
GRETCHEN MORGENSON, New York Times
‘Warren has written a good book … Frank and quite strong’
The Nation
‘[A] call to arms … you can hear the sound of the crowd roaring with approval’
Mother Jones
‘[Warren] displays a down-home charm and an effortless rapport with everyday people … Warren emerges as a committed advocate with real world sensibility, who tasted tough economic times at an early age and did not forget its bitterness’
Publishers Weekly, starred review
