A good overview of the physical accomplishments of string theory can be
found in subsection 1.6 of http://www.arxiv.org/abs/http://www....hep-th/0204131 ,
written by one of string theory's pioneers; one of the top string
theorists of the 1980's and the founder of the prominent string theory
group at Rutgers University.
