Free Speech and Koch Money

‘This deeply researched and urgent book reads like a detective mystery. A riveting self-defence manual for all who fear for the future of our country and our planet’

– Nancy MacLean, author of ‘Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America’

This book is a detailed and valuable guide to the shadowy right-wing financial networks irresponsibly stoking the latter to the growing detriment of the former’

– Hank Reichman, Professor Emeritus of History, California State University, East Bay

‘An essential analysis of the amped-up culture wars over free speech’

– ‘Times Higher Education’

‘An insightful dive into the ways higher education has been impacted—indeed, manipulated—by conservatives. Read it and fight back’

– Eleanor J. Bader, ‘The Progressive’

‘Deeply researched and well-argued’

– ‘Inside Higher Education’
