Harvard's Secret Court: The Savage 1920 Purge of Campus Homosexuals - Softcover

For those who would like to see gay Americans pushed back out of public view, William Wright has provided a chilling glimpse of the horrors that lurk in the closet." --Barbara Ehrenreich, bestselling author of Nickel and Dimed

"Shocking . . . Only William Wright could have captured all the drama and irony of this long-buried story." --Alison Lurie, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Foreign Affairs

"This is a tale of vindictiveness and hate perpetrated over the years--and it is a cautionary tale told with concision and convincing detail." --Edmund White, author of A Boy's Own Story

"A first-rate writer absolutely in command of his material." --David Halberstam

"It takes an independent writer and free spirit to tell the story straight, and thank God Wright has done it." --Edward O. Wilson, author of Consilience

"A revelation and a pleasure . . . It presents the mysteries of human genetics and behavior in a way that leaves the reader enlightened, conversant, and entertained. A most rewarding book." --Robert Stone, author of Outerbridge Reach
