"In the years following World War Two, the United States plunged into a period of Cold War, an era when loyalty oaths, legislative investigations, and bans on certain types of speakers were the order of the day on many university campuses. This study examines the experience of the University of Washington during that troubled period. It explores the attitudes of administrators, regents, faculty members, and students which shaped the university's response to internal and external pressures on academic freedom. The story that emerges reveals the tensions between higher education and a society in crisis." $18.00USD Click here to order or message the dealer
