""Having gone through an academic inquisition myself, I know all too well the perils the brave souls featured here went through. Like a samizdat collection from the gulag, their stories illustrate the illiberal takeover of higher education by political commissars and other apparatchiks."" - Ilya Shapiro, Senior Fellow and Director of Constitutional Studies, Manhattan Institute ""I have read fairly widely studies of current challenges of higher education. This is the first to bring home the individual tragedies of professors caught up in the contemporary politicization of colleges and universities."" - Paul M. Sniderman, Fairleigh S. Dickinson Jr. Professor in Public Policy, Stanford University ""The testimonies in this important book provide a painful window onto the current state of our campuses. The authors' stories deserve careful, public discussion, the result of which, we can only hope, will be real change."" - Joshua T. Katz, Senior Fellow, The American Enterprise Institute, formerly Cotsen Professor in the Humanities and Professor of Classics, Princeton University ""Too many elite colleges have betrayed their own commitments to due process, free speech, and basic fairness. This book is an important exposé from those who have witnessed this unfairness firsthand: the professors. Read them in their own words; it's a vital effort to set the record straight."" - Robby Soave, Senior Editor, Reason
