Reviews

"Diamond is an indefatigable researcher. His zeal to expose the intrusion of our intelligence agencies on our campuses is a wonder to behold. And Compromised Campus, once and for all, should end the image of the post-war campus as an ivory tower."--Victor Navasky, Editor, The Nation
"This is a fearless, formidable book--exciting as only truth can be when revealed in the service of principle. Diamond's discoveries are in themselves astonishing; collectively, they provide knowledge central to this nation's modern history and future hopes. The work is informed, above all, by human understanding not only of the vanity of power, but of the immortality of courage and candor."--Shirley Hazzard
"Not so long ago, our greatest universities permitted themselves to become accessories of the FBI and CIA. With passion and precision, Professor Diamond has penetrated the secrecy with which this trahison des clercs was carried out. If it is not to happen again, we need to know why it happened before."--Theodore Draper
