Grounded in extensive research and reporting, Spy Schools reveals
that globalisation - the influx of foreign students and professors
and the outflow of Americans for study, teaching, and conferences
abroad - has transformed U.S. higher education into a front line
for international spying. In labs, classrooms, and auditoriums,
intelligence services from countries like China, Russia, and Cuba
seek insights into U.S. policy, recruits for clandestine
operations, and access to sensitive military and civilian research.
The FBI and CIA reciprocate, tapping international students and
faculty as informants. Universities ignore or even condone this
interference, despite the tension between their professed global
values and the nationalistic culture of espionage. Golden uncovers
shocking campus activity - from the CIA placing agents undercover
in Harvard Kennedy School classes and staging academic conferences
to persuade Iranian nuclear scientists to defect, to a Chinese
graduate student at Duke University stealing research for an
invisibility cloak, and a tiny liberal arts college in Marietta,
Ohio, exchanging faculty with China's most notorious spy school -
to show how relentlessly and ruthlessly both U.S. and foreign
intelligence services are penetrating the ivory tower. Golden, the
acclaimed author of The Price of Admission, unmasks this secret
culture of espionage and its consequences at home and abroad.
