  • The hardcover was well-received, and Whitney continues to get interview requests
  • The hardcover was reviewed by Kirkus (starred reviews), Library Journal, The Los Angeles Review of Books and more
  • This is crucial reading for the current moment of American media and politics in which the two are constantly in conflict and flux. Finks exposes the inherent politicization of media and art, for better and worse
  • This book is even more relevant than when it was published last year. Readers are hungry for books about Russian-American political relations and books that explore political gray areas
  • Finks was named a Best Book of 2016 by the Guardian
  • Finks was named one of Vulture's8 Books You Need to Read in January
