"In recent years, the American public has been told that the sole legacy of the Great Society has been a vigorous debate about its failure. Marshall Kaplan and Peggy Cuciti deserve our thanks for giving this contentious period some much needed perspective. "The Great Society and Its Legacy," as a chronicle of the successes and failures of this important era, will help thoughtful Americans apply the lessons of the last two decades to the challenges which remain ahead."--Senator Gary Hart
