A Goose in Toulouse (2000)
"Rosenblum has brought the intrepid rigor of his 30 years as a war correspondent to bear on France's battle to remain the world's source of fine food. The result is a rollicking roll through the heart, myth, soul - and belly - of the land of Bon Appetit, a century after Escoffier. More, please."
-Molly O'Neill, New York Times Magazine |
|

Olives (2000)
"Pit by pit, his savory details add up,"
Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times
"In his insatiable quest to show us our world, Mort Rosenblum has found the olive an engaging and amusing witness to our civilization."

The Secret Life of the Seine (1995)
"Rosenblum's moveable feast has a top speed for five knots - fast enough for fun, languid enough for dreaming. Take the trip you'll never take: This is what books are for."
-Garry Trudeau
"In Mort Rosenblum's pilgrimage my heart filled with yes at every word. This is more than a trip through Paris but rather the sound of the whole world through the silent language of the Seine."
-Marcel Marceau |
|

Who Stole the News? (1993)
". . .A brilliantly readable and racy account of foreign reporting today, a book that is very serious and very disturbing."
-William Pfaff
"This is the best account available anywhere about the people and the practices shaping today's news. A foreign correspondent himself, Rosenblum knows all the players and where clichés are buried."
-Peter Arnett |

The Abortion Pill (1991) With Etienne-Emile Baulieu.

Back Home: A Foreign Correspondent Rediscovers America (1989)
"Mort Rosenblum hasn't rediscovered America; he's discovered a new America. It's an extraordinary land of curious customs, fine places, and restless natives. You won't believe it until you see it, and you won't see it until you let Rosenblum show you the way."
-Linda Ellerbee

Mission to Civilize (1988)
"The book's excellence owes much to fact and firsthand experience, and possibly more to the author's nonchalant tone."
-The New Yorker |
|

|
Coups and Earthquakes (1981)
"Not since the late A.J. Leibling - with whom Mr. Rosenblum shares wide experience with wolfish good humor - has anyone so successfully sized up the waywardness and splendor of newsgathering. Everyone who reads newspapers should read this book."
-Paul Theroux
