About the book
A critical examination of Harvard's monumental but disconcerting global influence and power, Verita£ examines Harvard's hidden history. It begins with analysis of Harvard's involvement in the Salem witch trials. Harvard scientists promoted eugenics in the early 20th century, impacting Nazi race theories. Harvard's management of Russian economic reform led the US government to sue them for £26 million. Harvard's motto is Veritas,' which means 'truth'. As the author reviews Harvard's history, she emphasises the ways that Harvard has pursued money and power above its quest for truth.'
