God and Man at Yale
The Superstitions of "Academic Freedom"
by William F. Buckley
Review this book!
In William F. Buckley's first book, published shortly after he graduated from Yale University in 1951, he criticizes the liberal tendencies of certain departments. He especially faults the way that religion and economics are taught, and calls "academic freedom" a hoax that protects values contrary to the university's mission. While some of this book specifically addresses long-dead battles, GOD & MAN AT YALE can be seen as an early salvo in what came to be called the "culture wars."

Media Reviews
"As gadfly against the smug Comrade Blimpse of the left, this important, symptomatic, and widely hailed book is a necessary counterbalance. However, its outworn Old Guard antithesis to the outworn Marxist thesis is not the liberty security synthesis the future cries for. Some day, being intelligent and earnest, Buckley may give us the hard-won wisdom of synthesis. For that, he will first need to add, to his existing virtues, three new ones: sensitivity, compassion, and an inkling of the tragic paradoxes of la condition humaine."
