Jacobin calls Geoghegan "one of the most astute chroniclers of the labor movement’s excruciating decline" in their review of Only One Thing Can Save Us.
The Sunday Book Review reviews Only One Thing Can Save Us concluding "A militantly anti-union party now controls Congress. But history shows that the ideas that grow into legislation need an expansive advocacy to fertilize their bloom — which is why Geoghegan’s book is so useful."
