Compromised Campus looks at role of the FBI in dealing with universities in regard to loyalty matters. As a participant in these events (Diamond was fired from Harvard in the 1950s), the author brings a special immediacy to these questions, and uses the Freedom of Information Act to ferret out instances of FBI illegal activity which has long been covered up.

'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 Sigmund Diamond begins with his own experience as a Ph.D. from Harvard, where, in 1954, he was withdrawn from consideration for an administrative position due to alleged past associations with the Communist party.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'.). Signed.
