Trade Review"Required reading for anyone, presidential candidate or private citizen, who really wants to address the growing plight of the black urban underclass." (David J. Garrow, Washington Post Book World) "The Truly Disadvantaged should spur critical thinking in many quarters about the causes and possible remedies for inner city poverty. As policymakers grapple with the problems of an enlarged underclass they - as well as community leaders and all concerned Americans of all races - would be advised to examine Mr. Wilson's incisive analysis." (Robert Greenstein, New York Times Book Review)"
