“Coming Apart brims with ideas about what ails America.”—The Economist
“A timely investigation into a worsening class divide no one can afford to ignore.”—Publishers Weekly

“[Charles Murray] has written an incisive, alarming, and hugely frustrating book about the state of American society.”—Roger Lowenstein, Bloomberg Businessweek
