"Alas, in our age of professional specialization, one must look outside the academy for works of true originality and breadth. One such is The Fourth
Turning by William Strauss and Neil Howe... If they are right, they will take their place among the great American prophets."
Boston Globe |

“The Fourth Turning is an alarm clock for America. Maintaining the historical rigor that characterized their seminal Generations, Strauss and Howe are issuing more than just a wake-up call; this is a call to action, before we reach the inevitable crisis point.”
Newt Gingrich
Speaker, U.S. House of Representatives |

“This prophecy is more than just a moving vision of America. It is a very personal, thought-provoking review that draws on the past to define the challenges for which today’s citizens of all generations must begin to prepare.”
Paul Tsongas
Co-Chairman, Concord Coalition |

”The Fourth Turning is an ambitious, hotly topical book, drenched in the mysteries of eternal return... There is a good feel here for how American history has been shaped by generational character. if you ever wondered how you get from Dwight Eisenhower to Bill Clinton, this book will clarify things.“
American Way Magazine |

”Strauss and Howe have given us another fascinating 'generational' perspective on America's past and probable future. The outcome of the crisis they forecast will depend on how we respond to their warning.“
William A. Niskanen
Chairmen, Cato Institute |

“This is a vivid and compelling social analysis. With Generations, Strauss and Howe put forward a fresh, compelling new way of understanding the nation’s past and present. Now, in The Fourth Turning, they apply their approach to the future—giving us some idea of where we are in the flow of history, and what we might do about it.”
Morton Keller
Professor of History, Brandeis University |

”The book is incredible... a well-founded analysis of history... This hits me right where it counts, with me and my children.“
”Since Strauss and Howe first got together to write Generations, they have demonstrated uncanny insight into American culture... it will transform your view of the world and your life. Do yourself and others you care about a favor and read it.“

“An immensely stimulating book. Even if the traditionalists among us do not fully accept the authors’ bold hypothesis, we will never be able to think about history in the same way.”

“The Fourth Turning is a fascinating and even haunting exploration of what the past can tell us of our future.”
Richard Lamm
former Governor of Colorado |

“Strauss and Howe have constructed a fascinating, cyclical view of American history. The Fourth Turning is a gripping, well-written account that explains a lot. It offers a much wider context for interpreting events than one gets from the usual political or academic commentary.”
Lawrence Mead
Professor of Politics, New York University |
|
“Stimulating, provocative, and culturally aware, Strauss and Howe’s The Fourth Turning will inspire true believers in search of a new new age to believe in.”
