New York Times Book Review: "Mr. Lewis so vividly evokes the environments that shaped Du Bois that one almost participates in the life...An exceptional accomplishment.", Washington Post Book World: "An engrossing masterpiece....A dazzling feat of scholarship performed with Lewis's customary grace of style. The strengths of this exquisite biography are innumerable.", Lingeman, Richard, New York Times Book Review: "Lewis has given us Du Bois's life in all its multiple facets and ideological complexities. The historical background he sketches in provides informative context; his prose is vigorous, colorful. One must add that, in leading us down so many byways of Du Bois's career, his narrative occasionally sags under the weight of facts and events, or doubles back to cover parallel developments. Nevertheless, as biography and as history, Lewis's second volume clears the high bar he set with his first one."
