The Prize: Who's in Charge of America's Schools?

New York Times bestseller, and "notable book of 2015" at both the NYT and Washington Post. In 2010, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg donated $100 million to save Newark, New Jersey's failing public school system and, by so doing, create a blueprint for successful public-private educational partnerships nationwide. This book chronicles how and why the venture largely failed, and how it helped inform and improve Zuckerberg's subsequent forays into educational philanthropy.
