Harvard Rules: Lawrence Summers and the Battle for the World's Most Powerful University

Larry Summers sits atop a university in a state of upheaval, unsure of what it stands for and where it is going. His allies believe that Harvard needs shaking up and appreciate Summers' blunt language and unabashed displays of power. His foes accuse the new president of tearing apart a venerable institution simply to remake it in his own image. At stake is not just the future of Harvard University, but the way in which Harvard students see the world - and the manner in which they will lead it. Written despite the university's official opposition, Harvard Rules uncovers what really goes on behind Harvard's storied walls - the politics, sex, ambition, infighting, and intrigue that run rampant within the world's most important university.
