"The Price of Silence is the definitive account of what happened up
to and after Crystal Gail Mangum made her accusation. Its 600-page
length might at first seem more appropriate to a presidential
biography or a history of one of the world wars, but The Price of
Silence earns its heft, and unlike most biographies and histories,
it rarely loosens its grip on its reader's attention."--Salon
"In his new book The Price of Silence, William D. Cohan presents
the first authoritative account of what happened on the evening of
March 13, 2006 and the chaos that followed. Cohan's clear-eyed
reporting tracks how administrators, lawyers, police, media
personalities, Mangum, and the exonerated players reacted to the
spotlight and the shadows it cast. In the book, Cohan speaks with a
number of important figures who had never before spoken publicly
about the scandal, including both Mike Nifong and former Duke
University Board of Trustees Chairman Robert Steel."--Men's
Journal
"William Cohan's fascinating The Price of Silence shows that the
Duke lacrosse case was not just a controversial legal investigation
that became a heated media circus, but also a conflict that
illuminated the fierce pressures on America's elite universities as
they battle for power and prestige and money. Cohan's deep
character study of the principal figures involved also reveals the
case as a crucible of fate that created distinct winners and
losers."--Bryan Burrough, Vanity Fair contributing editor and the
author of Public Enemies and The Big Rich, and coauthor of
Barbarians at the Gate
