“Maharidge posits that we were a country in peril even before the terrorist attacks, a nation in which many were suffering in dire economic straits … this book is a call for all Americans to examine our beliefs, our anger, our racial prejudices and the economic injustices fueling our unease.” –Los Angeles Times
“In Homeland, Maharidge breaks new ground in the genre of 9/11 journalism by heading into heartland America. … The tales Maharidge relates expose the synergy between economics and racism in Rust Belt communities, whose residents are the victims of post-industrial collapse and what he describes as a ’30-year war against the working class.’” –In These Times
