The Third Reich in the Ivory Tower: Complicity and Conflict on American Campuses : Norwood, Stephen H.: desertcart.in: Books Review: AWESOME Review: An amazing, maddening, informative and necessary read. Norwood's relentless focus on minute detail and use of relatively obscure sources (most notably college newspaper archives) uncovers an ugly truth about American academia that was largely swept under the rug by the outbreak of World War II. This book is full of forgotten heroes, like Toni Sender and Robert Burke, whose contribution and self-sacrifice is completely unknown to all but the most dogged specialists, and Norwood should be celebrated from bringing their stories to light. It is also full of, if not villains, many Americans who avoided doing the right thing until the last possible minute, if ever. Some of these private anti-semites went on to be lauded as Nazi opponents. Harvard President James Conant, whose opposition to the Nazi regime was lukewarm at best during the early and mid 1930's, and whose private correspondence reveals an ugly anti-semitism, stands out in this regard. Thank you Professor Norwood.

This needs to be read by every college student. The information was not only new, but an eye opener. Especially, since most colleges sweep the truth about their past dirty laundry under the rug They are more concerned about PC image than the truth that has tarnished their image. I teach about America's involvement with the Eugenics program of Nazi Germany. Such groups as the Rockefeller Center, The Carnegie Institute, Henry Ford and IBM, as well as number of Ivy League Colleges and Universities were all embracing the Nazi Eugenics System, and some even went beyond it to assist in the Holocaust.

This is a great book about academics who loved Nazis because they thought they looked great in their uniforms, and who hated Jews because they thought they looked too intense. Instead of listening or reading, these academics, who should have known better, only depended on what they saw. Clearly this is a valuable book because it is a warning to us all. This an excellent book!
