Jocko Willink

[I have] admiration for all [Solomon is] doing to make this a better world - and a more educated world.
Dame Jane Goodall

Solomon is a prodigy. He is a great writer and interviewer. [As a historian] he follows in the tradition of David McCullough - objective, down-the-line, and fair. I think he will be the greatest biographer of the 21st century.

Prof. Alan Dershowitz

[Solomon has] quite a remarkable record. [I'm] really impressed.

Dr. Noam Chomsky

A reputable author.
