Survey of the attempts in theoretical physics and mathematical physics to formulate unified field models connecting gravity with electromagnetic and strong and weak interactions. Conclusion is that after > 20 years (super)string theory has failed to advance beyond the standard model developed in the 1970's. The author's perspective is interesting since he has been active in both physics and mathematics departments.
