Ancient Cultures of Conceit by Ian Carter
Witty and penetrating, this interdisciplinary study, first published in 1990, explores the culture celebrated in British university fiction. This is a culture rooted in the ivory towers of Oxbridge, a culture under threat from the proletarians, women, foreigners, and social scientists who flood the university with their 'alien ways'.-

In Vietnam, he served as a commander for the 101st Airborne Brigade and the 25th Infantry Division. He received a number of awards, including the Legion of Merit and the Bronze Star.
