The author details the (largely) right wing attacks on academic freedom in the United States in the wake of the September 11th attacks. He spends significant time discussing one of the most concerted campaigns, censorship of criticism of Israel, as well as the activities of former Ramparts editor and now right wing activist David Horowitz. He also offers chapters debunking the widespread myth that American universities are overwhelmingly liberal and inhospitable to conservative speech, discussing attacks on campus newspapers, and examining the threat to academic freedom from higher education's increasing focus on profit as its ultimate goal.
