Kevin Peraino, writing in The New York Times Book Review, described “The Quiet Americans” as “entertaining ... captivating reading, especially in the hands of a storyteller as skilled as Anderson... The climate of fear and intolerance that it describes in Washington also feels uncomfortably timely.”
