Wells Draughon

The Rape of Alma Mater Wells Draughon

From college presidents to governors, to TV reporters, to faculty, to government agents, to drug dealers, to students of every political stripe, this novel follows a trail of circumstances, opportunities seized, weaknesses exploited, advantages enlarged, groups co-opted, expediencies implemented, to the ultimate unforeseen result where facts, rationality and evidence are sacrificed for a "greater good," where questioning is insensitive and disagreement is backlash, in a takeover that both liberals and conservatives see as ominous, a takeover that is reaching beyond the ivy walls into radio, TV, motion pictures and newspapers.
