“ This book is quite the tour de force : yes, it tells the history of Georgetown University, the nation's oldest Jesuit institution of higher education. But, in many ways, it does more than that: it tells the story of the United States too: the shifts in politics, in culture, in social norms.”

“ Loved reading this book. The history is particularly relevant in light of the evidence revealed in the last couple of years about Georgetown‘s connection to a time when slavery was common in the District of Columbia. This book gives a clear picture of the entire history of this great Jesuit institution. ”

“ O'Neill and Smith's book is filled with terrific photos and captions that bring Georgetown University to life. It's both an enjoyable read and an accessible overview of the university's history. I would recommend it for all Hoyas.”
