Description

New York/Oxford: Oxford University Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. 1992. First Edition. Hardcover. [nice clean copy with no significant wear apart from some extremely minor bumping to a couple of corners; the jacket shows a teensy bit of surface wear]. "It is often said that in the 1950s, American universities were free of the McCarthyism that pervaded the rest of the nation. Not so, says [the author]. Using previously secret materials newly made available under the Freedom of Information Act, and an impressive amount of information gained from years of research in university and foundation archives, he reveals that despite academia's official story of autonomy from the federal government, in fact university administrators, faculty, and students secretly and actively sought close ties with intelligence agencies." Two of the characters in this "eye-opening" book are the late, un-lamented Henry Kissinger, who as "a young Harvard professor....approached the FBI [in 1950] with alleged evidence of communist subversion among the foreign students of his summer seminar," while over at Yale another budding young conservative, William F. Buckley Jr., was swooning under the spell of the charming J. Edgar Hoover. ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this slightly heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.**** .
