Harvard's Secret Court: The Savage 1920 Purge of Campus Homosexuals
reviewed on + 99 more book reviews


A fair and inclusive summary of one of Harvard's most scandalous times -- the over-zealous purge of young men who were thought to have any connection with the prevalent homosexual community in Cambridge at the time (1920s). Shows what harm uncontrolled hatred and prejudice can do. Well presented, including stories on individuals affected by this purge.
