Secret Science

?Foerstel's Surveillance in the Stacks (1991) was a science librarian's response to the FBI's "Library Awareness Program," in which the feds asked for records of "suspicious" foreign nationals consulting technical reference books. Here, the author expands his scope to examine the broader issue of governmental control of scientific research and publication in a free society . . . compelling for its detailed and extensively documented treatment of the damage done to science in the name of security. Required reading for anyone concerned with continued abuses of power by the military-industrial complex.?-Kirkus Reviews
