Pressezitat
Winner of the 2014 Missouri History Book Award“Campbell’s rich expose lays bare the political, real-estate and city planning shenanigans behind the landmark.” —Jeff Truesdell, People

“Visitors should be handed a copy of The Gateway Arch.” —Alex Ihnen, nextSTL.com
“Fascinating reading on a historical level, on an architectural level, on an engineering level.” —Bobby Tanzil, OnMilwaukee.com
“[A] thorough and often unflattering story of the city politics and private-interest ambitions that played heavily in the Arch’s formative years.” —Mary Delach Leonard, STL Beacon
“Highly readable. . . . The Gateway Arch illustrates that behind every symbol is a complex story.” —Journal of American History
“Offers readers a fascinating reconsideration of the iconic structure. . . . Critical historical evaluation is nicely balanced here with a story that is still accessible to the non-academic reader.” —Aaron Cownan, Register of the Kentucky Historical Society

Ritchie, author of Electing FDR: The New Deal Campaign of 1932
"Tracy Campbell removes the luster from one the nation’s most admired and visited historical landmarks in this exposé of raw politics, profiteering, inflated egos, racism, and fraud. His surprising story compels us to think carefully about what is gained and lost when urban places are remade to commemorate the past." —Andrew Hurley, author of Beyond Preservation: Using Public History to Revitalize Inner-Cities
