'A remarkable book not only for what is said but for how and by whom it is said. Sigmund Diamond begins with his own experience as a Ph.D. from Harvard where in 1954 he was withdrawn from consideration for an administrative position due to alleged past associations with the Communist party. Twenty-three years later in the New York Review of Books Diamond excoriated Education and Politics at Har-vard by Seymour Martin Lipset and David Riesman for the authors' casual exoneration of Harvard's behavior during the McCarthy era. Diamond recalled that Harvard dean McGeorge Bundy had offered to intercede in his case but only if Diamond would agree to name his former political associates. In short he was asked to become an FBI informer. How many others Diamond wondered had been put into similar po-sitions at Harvard and elsewhere What did his own experience suggest about university complicity with government security agencies such as the FBI and the CIA In his current study the author takes us step by step through his own efforts to uncover at least some truths if not 'the truth'. He focuses primarily on Harvard and Yale in order to trace in some detail their long decades of covert cooperation. . Diamond's research makes Buckley's charges of 'ultra-liberalism' in God and Man at Yale look like a well-calculated deception.' Paul Buhle review in 'History of Education Quarterly'.
